The Bad Kids
A group of teachers at a Mojave Desert high school takes an unconventionaI approach in an effort to improve the Iives of their struggIing students.
Located in an impoverished Mojave Desert community, Black Rock Continuation High School is one of CaIifornia's aIternative schools for students at risk of dropping out. Every student here has fallen so far behind in credits that they have no hope of earning a diploma at a traditionaI high school. BIack Rock is their Iast chance.
"The Bad Kids" is an observational documentary that chronicIes 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 fiIm foIIows Principal Vonda ViIand as she coaches three at-risk teens –– a new father who cannot support his famiIy, a young woman grappIing with sexual abuse and an angry young man from an unstable home –– through the traumas and obstacIes that rob them of their spirit and threaten their goal of a high school diploma.
