17 Girls (French: 17 filles) is a 2011 French coming-of-age drama film written and directed by Delphine and Muriel Coulin and starring Louise Grinberg as a teenage girl who becomes pregnant, later influencing 16 other girls at her school to become pregnant as well. The film had its premiere at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival, before being theatrically released in France on 14 December 2011.[4][5]
The film was inspired by an alleged pregnancy pact which took place at Gloucester High School in Massachusetts in 2008, which the 2010 American film The Pregnancy Pact is also based on.[6][2]
