Rebel Heart

Meet Audrey Birkeland, a 16-year old girl living in Cherry Creek, Wisconsin. Free spirited and strong-minded, Audrey sets off on an adventure to unearth the secrets and lies that have seen her family embroiled in small town scandal. With the help of her older cousin and a local journalist, Audrey uncovers a deep underbelly of corruption while learning to understand herself and her own family history in the process. REBEL HEART is a story about young people, for young people. It is a story about power and empowerment; and an encouragement for Generation Z to question the status quo; to challenge the decisions that are made around them; to distinguish the good from the bad. Historically it has been stated and recorded that Western society has not treated its children and young people well, but in the last 20 years our approach to parenting and rearing children has become more open-minded, more nurturing, and more supportive. REBEL HEART celebrates the powerful voice that young people have, individually and as a collective, and constructs a context in which this power can be put to effective and beneficial use.
