The Bad Kids

About This Movie

The Bad Kids is a raw and intimate glimpse into a unique high school in the Mojave Desert where traditional education meets compassion. It's not your typical school documentary; it dives deep into the lives of at-risk students, showcasing how empathy and support can reshape their futures. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to really sit with the students' struggles and triumphs. The atmosphere is stark yet hopeful, enhanced by the desolate backdrop which contrasts beautifully with the warm interactions between educators and students. There's a certain authenticity in the performances that feels almost like a fly-on-the-wall experience. What sets it apart is its poignant focus on the human element – it's less about academics and more about life skills, which feels refreshingly different.
