'5 Girls' is a documentary released in 2001 by Kartemquin Films for PBS's P.O.V. series. The film follows five young women between the ages of 13 and 17.

Directed by Maria Finitzo, '5 Girls' made its television premiere on PBS's P.O.V. on October 2, 2001.

At the time of the film's release, 'The New York Times' praised '5 Girls' for its "intimacy and candor". Reminiscent of Michael Apted's classic Up! series, the film unfolds into a bold "sociological portrait" showing the transformation of each girl into a woman.[https://web.archive.org/web/20071015022743/http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/264016/5-Girls/overview "5 Girls (2001)".] Southern, Nathan.
