Documentary Description: One year in a boldly independent and startlingly upbeat public middle school in New York City where 5th-8th graders are mixed in almost all classes — and somehow it actually works. Created by an award-winning documentary team, this one hour film offers a rare insider’s view into the daily lives of students and teachers at school — featuring remarkably candid and unfiltered commentary from students about the joy and complexity of being 10-14 years old.
"A novel and extraordinary window into the world of early adolescence."
-Penny Bishop, University of Maine
"A terrific documentary and an authentic portrait of what it means to be an early adolescent today."
-Phyllis Fagell, Author “Middle School Matters”
