Please join us for a screening and discussion of the documentary film The Bad Kids (2016), directed by Lou Pepe and Keith Fulton, on Thursday, April 13, at 7:00 p.m. in the Burchfield Penney Art Center.

The Bad Kids is an observational documentary that chronicles one extraordinary principal’s mission to realize the potential of students whom the system has deemed lost causes. Employing a vérité approach during a year at the school, the film follows principal Vonda Viland as she coaches three at-risk teens—a new father who can’t support his family, a young woman grappling with sexual abuse, and an angry young man from an unstable home—through the traumas and obstacles that rob them of their spirit and threaten their goal of a high school diploma.
