jesse v 2 days ago i appreciate the newspaper organization making this film. however, there's not much of a story here other than mainly clips stitched together in chronological order. no narration, no jokes, 1/4 politics and 3/4 student life. also, it is noticeable the contrast between the demographic of the protestors and the guests that speak (parents) versus the staff and politicians on board. if only this topic was more in news circulation before the midterm election. just the topic, not this whole film. how come Josh is the only man that is verbose and philosophical, yet lost all his credibility the moment he started smoking cigs? tragedy struck when the hurricane milton hit the school and the cleanup paved the way for "remodeling", as well as the newspaper shutting down.

The most interesting thing about this documentary is that it doesn't take a single viewpoint, but instead lets students from all walks of life tell their own stories, collecting the footage they shoot and chronicling the events they found most revealing. Stuck in a conflict where appearance is everything (watch Astro-Turf rolled out over native grasses, stickers banned from student mailbox doors), maybe the best move is to let the subjects speak for themselves. Some are journalists, some are drama kids, some came to help the conservative movement - then got shocked to discover what the place was really like. The storyline is a little chaotic (now, in 2026, events are still unfolding), but the story itself is important, and hopeful, and fascinating in its telling.

Don't wasse your time being told Right winger "Bad" while they say absolutely nothing about the gang life/perverts that enumerate left wing ideology. More 3rd worlders and less American born citizens is what these traitors push for. We will do what we want with OUR colleges See more Read all reviews
