This film was recommended to me and I have watched it. At first I had reservations. Is this a film for young people ? Am I too old for what looks like a preparation for life when I have lived most of mine ? I was wrong. The story reviewers will mainly know by previous reviews, so I will not linger on that. What the script and the excellent direction proved to me was that despite even possible failure in doing so we must call out the rotten in society, and that these rotten and morally corrupt people are often ( by turning a blind eye ) allowed to flourish and grow in our schools. The so-called weak are driven to the wall, and when a strong defence speaks out for them the moral truth is kicked into the school dustbin. I felt numb at the end as the camera briefly lingered over the expression on the faces of those who had been cast aside, and saw the ' victors ' receive their glittering prizes.
I cannot single out one poor performance. For an independent film it was far superior to most mainstream films, but despite the fact that popcorn pap will succeed in the world perhaps more than this, give a cheer that independent film exists. Many countries are trying to suppress it, and by supporting brilliant films like this we support moral truth and humanity.
