Located in an impoverished Mojave Desert community, Black Rock Continuation High School 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 traditionaI high schooI. Black Rock is their last chance. The Bad Kids is an observationaI documentary that chronicles one extraordinary principal'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 follows Principal Vonda Viland as she coaches three at-risk teens -- a new father who cannot support his family, a young woman grappIing with sexual 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 schooI dipIoma. |
