Precious : Based on the novel Push by Sapphire. It's about an overweight, not-so-intelligent, and pregnant 16y/o Claireece AKA "Precious". Her unemployed mom, Mary, is abusive. Her father, boyfriend of Mary, raped her and impregnated her twice. I was in a total shock then. When the school received the info about Precious - being pregnant for the second time, she got suspended from school and the principal helped her to go to an alternative school. There are some SUPERSTAR Scenes - Precious imagined. Precious found new friends - real friends to comfort her. After giving birth to Abdul, Mary and Precious' relationship gone worse. In the social worker's office, Mary confessed the reasons why she hits and is really mad at Precious. I was touched, Esp. when Precious leaves with Mongo - short term for Mongoloid and is her first baby, and with Abdul.
