01/08/2019 Fascinating and moving. See more 08/10/2017 Interesante documental sobre la vida de los adolescentes provenientes de familias fracasadas (drogas, alcohol, violencia) que reciben su ultima oportunidad de graduarse de secundaria en esta escuela dirigida por una increíble mujer, Vonda Viland que cuenta con un grupo de profesores de admirar. El material es muy bueno pero no llama mucho la atención para llevarlo al cine, no parece bien enmarcado, las historias se van desarrollando cada una por su lado sin la suficiente profundidad. Sin embargo es muy interesante pero para ver en casita.

The lady that runs this school and the staff are the true heroes of modern society. See more 04/14/2017 Documentary shows the work of teachers to help kids graduate despite what is happening around them that impacts on their chances to succeed. Amazing footage and the kids are wonderful. Standout is principal Viland. Probably would have liked if producers had interviewed kids or teachers directly, but in a way that would have been easy way out. Working from "fly-on-the-wall" approach ensures realism (as far as possible). See more greg r @itsgregsworld 03/28/2017 Heros. Fucking Heros!!!! See more 03/22/2017 3/25/17 PBS Independent Lens An up close and intimate look at kids who are struggling in so many ways from home life, school life and social life and the dedicated educators who lay it all on the line for them. The good news is that a school like Black Rock exists, the bad news is that it is full and has a waiting list. It would have been interesting to learn how some of the kids who graduated did and where they are now in their lives See more Read all reviews
