Event Details

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 shows extraordinary educators and talented students combatting the crippling effects of poverty.
This Indie Lens Pop-up screening of <i>The Bad Kids</i>, by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe, is presented by the City of Mesa Diversity Office and Mesa Public Library.
