Movie Haiku:CIFF 2009: Engrossing doc about teenage girls at Warrenville prison in suburban Chicago trying to pull their lives back from the brink. But "fly on the wall" footage only goes so far, & we both left wanting to know more about "Storycatchers Theatre," & the terrific women behind this extraordinary reclamation project. Let''s hope Heather is now working on a sequel!
