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.^[1][2][3] In 2002, 5 Girls was awarded the Henry Hampton Award for Excellence in Film & Digital Media from the Council on Foundations. The film also took home The Silver Award from the Chicago Film & Television Competition.^[4]

In September 2007, Kartemquin Films released 5 Girls on DVD.
