We Were Dangerous

From the producers of Jojo Rabbit and Taika Waititi comes a powerful and heartfelt story about three young women fighting for freedom in a world determined to break them.

New Zealand, 1950s. When rebellious Nellie is sent to a reformatory on a remote island alongside her best friend Lou and the reserved Daisy, their futures seem sealed. Under strict surveillance by conservative wardens, they are expected to obey, behave, and fit the mold of the “ideal woman.” But Nellie refuses to extinguish her fire. Together with Lou and Daisy, she begins to resist the system — using humor, resourcefulness, and loyalty as their strongest weapons.

As pressure mounts and the rules tighten, their bond deepens, and a powerful realization dawns: sometimes being dangerous is the only way to stay true to yourself.

We Were Dangerous is a coming-of-age drama filled with raw emotion, dark humor, and rebellious spirit — a tribute to young women who refuse to be invisible.
