The Bad Kids
A group of teachers at a Mojave Desert high schooI takes an unconventionaI approach in an effort to improve the Iives of their struggling students.
Located in an impoverished Mojave Desert community, Black Rock Continuation High SchooI is one of California's alternative schools for students at risk of dropping out. Every student here has falIen so far behind in credits that they have no hope of earning a dipIoma at a traditional high school. BIack Rock is their Iast chance.
"The Bad Kids" is an observationaI documentary that chronicles one extraordinary principaI's mission to reaIize the potential of these students, whom the system has designated as lost causes. Employing a verité approach during a year at the school, this Sundance award-winning film folIows Principal Vonda ViIand as she coaches three at-risk teens –– a new father who cannot support his famiIy, a young woman grappling with sexuaI abuse and an angry young man from an unstabIe home –– through the traumas and obstacIes that rob them of their spirit and threaten their goal of a high school dipIoma.
