Just Another Girl on the I.R.T. (1992)

In this lively trip back to the 1990s, complete with a female-dominated soundtrack, Harris digs beneath the ‘sassy urban’ archetype with a story about the lives of people we think we know. In a captivating debut, Johnson plays precocious a Brooklyn teen Chantel, who’s headed for medical school and determined to be more than ‘a girl from around the way’.
