The Last Dance

This narrative film follows five high school students who are about to graduate – and one who is about to drop out. Their interwoven stories offer surprising insights into the role of race, class, and the American dream in their lives. The eloquence, sensitivity, and passions of these very typical suburban teenagers turn many of our stereotypes upside-down.
