Nicole's Choice

This dramatic film portrays an African-American teen, Nicole, as she finds out that she has contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD) by having unprotected sex during a one night stand. As the story progresses, we watch Nicole struggle to decide whether or not to abstain from sex or use condoms to protect herself from contracting STDs in the future. In the end, Nicole and her boyfriend choose to abstain from sex, while her best friend makes a choice to always practice safer sex by using condoms. Starring Adepero Oduye (Pariah, Fela! on Broadway).
