Description

Welcome to Commie High explores an experiment in public education—Ann Arbor’s Community High School—from its humanistic, anti-establishment origins in the early ’70s through its survival into the ’90s, when sudden demand for this alternative, small school led to a phenomenon of lines, camping, and lottery systems. Now standing as one of the only surviving schools of the free school movement, the "Commie High" model has evolved and continues to reflect the world around it. Directed by Donald Harrison.
