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