Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire (2009)
De film vertelt het verhaal van Claireece "Precious" Jones, een zestienjarig Afro-Amerikaans meisje geboren in Harlem, in een keiharde omgeving. Het leven lacht haar niet bepaald toe: ze is voor de tweede keer in verwachting van haar vader. Thuis loopt ze op eieren om te vermijden dat haar moeder, een intens boze vrouw, haar mishandelt.
