FROM THE DIRECTOR OF BULLY
THE STORY OF CROSSTOWN HIGH
THE FIRST CLASS is a feature length documentary that follows the founding class of Crosstown High in Memphis, one of the XQ schools redefining the future of learning.
Each new school year, 3.6 million students enter high school in the United States.
Less than half of those who graduate will be ready for college or career.
In Memphis, that number
is only 20 percent.
CROSSTOWN IS A POWERFUL EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER TO CREATE REAL CHANGE.
This intimate verité film gives voice to the beauty and value of the American high school—and the possibility of what high school can be for students everywhere.
