Powerful and insightful film adaptation of a stage musical about the difficulties teenagers face in high school. The subject matter includes love, relationships, abusive parents, cyber-bullying and more. Directed by Bess O'Brien (who cowrote the script with Abby Paige), the film features a cast of about 100 teen actors and is based on interviews with more than 1000 young people who sounded off on the pluses and minuses of their lives.
