Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by the Independent Television Service (ITVS), Independent Lens, and WKAR is excited to offer an advance screening of The Bad Kids, a film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe. The film follows the staff of Black Rock Continuation High School for over a year as they coach at-risk teens with compassion, respect, and a seemingly endless supply of patience.
The evening begins with a full screening of the film and continues with conversation as panelists comment on the film from personal experiences and expertise.
The panelists are Kelli Hatfield, High School Diploma Completion Initiative (HSDCI) director; Rose Anderson, Eaton County Youth Facility assistant director; Alexandria, East Lansing High School student; and Isaac, Waverly High School student.
