Plot Summary of "Towelhead" (formally known as "Nothing is Private"): The screenplay was adapted by Alan Ball (”American Beauty,” “Six Feet Under”), from the novel "Towelhead" by Alicia Erian, and is set in Texas in 1991, during the first gulf war. It follows thirteen-year-old Arab-American Jasira as she bounces between her abusive and uncaring mother and her pedophile neighbor, to an abusive father, and a horny boyfriend. (IMDb)
Favfan posted in the comments on IMDb, "This is uncomfortable, heavy material, but a streak of dark comedy and the compelling performance of Summer Bishil pulls the audience through."
