    Detention

    What starts out like a stereotypical teen coming

    of age film quickly gives way to a very layered gritty

    film about contemporary students in an urban high

    school inAmerica. Director Lemont Wheaton’s plot

    twisting film bears witness to the inventiveness and

    idealism of a young African American teacher and

    her students. The film deals in a very truthful way the

    difficulty and  resiliency in recognizing and navigating

    through gang violence, sexual molestation, domestic

    violence that effect the students  in this high school on

    a daily basis. The film is a revelation.

This moving film shows how a small group of determined individuals can galvanize a mass movement and focus a nation’s attention on injustice. 61 minutes, 2004
