The Crenshaw district’s own students, teachers and parents detail the stark consequences of a school superintendent’s quick-fix reforms of their public high school in South Los Angeles. This documentary takes the viewer deep inside the lives of those most affected by the callous “reconstitution.” As teachers were kicked out, curriculum replaced and class sizes swelled, community activists take to the streets and meeting halls to fight for a say in their school’s future.
