Set in the heart of Trench Town, Shoot the Girl follows a fearless twelve-year-old girl forced into a deadly game of survival after witnessing her father’s murder. Hunted by dangerous criminals and fighting to stay alive, she must rely on her intelligence, courage, and the lessons her father taught her to outsmart her pursuers—proving that “brain will always beat brawn.” Tense, empowering, and emotionally driven, this Jamaican thriller combines suspense with a compelling story of resilience and determination in the face of overwhelming danger. The film was awarded the Lennie Little-White Award for Best Local Film at GATFFEST. Directed by Natalie Thompson and written by Tony Hendriks for T.H.E. Picture Company, Shoot the Girl reflects the duo’s shared commitment to developing authentic Jamaican stories for local and international audiences through dynamic, character-driven filmmaking.
