LA LUCHA: GETTING SCHOOLED IN AMERICA

La Lucha: Getting Schooled in America is a documentary that follows the journey of five students trying to survive in environments stricken by poverty, crime, dismal resources, and inadequate educational opportunities. Despite facing obstacles many cannot imagine, they understand that graduating high school is their best chance to rise above their fate. Can changing how we deliver education—tailored to the student instead of forcing them into a one-size-fits-all system—really make the difference?
