In YRM’s newest documentary, youth pose urgent questions about the local impact of the nation’s largely invisible “dropout crisis.”  Along the way, they ask how many of our city’s students are really graduating from high school, and do we really understand why others fall short of completing?  Their search for answers yields inspiring, puzzling, and often troubling results.
