Fifteen and Pregnant

Fifteen and Pregnant (1998) is a made-for-TV drama you can watch online on iFILM — drawn from a true story, with Kirsten Dunst playing 15-year-old Tina Spangler, whose life cracks open the moment a pregnancy test comes back positive.

Her boyfriend vanishes. The options in front of her are abortion, adoption, or raising the child on her own. Tina turns to her mother (Park Overall), who is barely keeping the household from falling apart as it is. Director Sam Pillsbury keeps the film grounded in everyday difficulty: no melodramatic outbursts, just a frightened teenager and a family that stopped listening to each other long ago, slowly working out how to start again. Kathy Sackhoff appears in an early supporting role.

Dunst was sixteen during production — years before Spider-Man, years before the art-house work — and already had the stillness that would define her later performances. A small, honest film about an impossible position. Stream Fifteen and Pregnant on iFILM.
