Located in an impoverished Mojave Desert community, Black Rock Continuation High School is an alternative for at-risk students with little hope of graduating from a traditional high school. It’s their last chance. This coming of age story, The Bad Kids shows extraordinary educators and talented students combatting the crippling effects of poverty. View a trailer on YouTube.
