High School
Frederick Wiseman, 1968, 75 min

Wiseman ventures inside a large city high school – the most everyday of American institutions – where lessons range from debates on existentialism to a simulated space flight. Assembled with dry humour, a series of formal and informal encounters between teachers, students, parents and administrators shows how education is steeped in the passing on of social and moral values.
