Night School (2016)
IHBM8.5Excellent
Indianapolis has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the country. Night School follows three adult students living in the citys more impoverished neighborhoods as they attempt to earn their diplomas while juggling other difficult responsibilities and realities. Through their stories, the filmmakers explore many issues that low-income Americans deal with, including unjust minimum wage and working conditions, arbitrary legal hindrances, and race and gender inequality.

A fascinating look at a cross section of people that dropped out of high school and then - at different points in their lives - tried to right a wrong. It was heartbreaking to see their stuggles and regret. Kudos to those that made it and for the ones that made this beautiful documentary. It is is really an amazing portrayal of the human spirit.
