Anyone Know of any High School Documentaries?

Anyone know? I know Wiseman did one back in 1969, and that there was another one called Seventeen around the 80's. I also know of the television series "American High."

But does anyone know of any others? Thanks.

Rock and Roll High School is a classic.

Ah, there was one that came out last year. Very limited run, I didn't see it, but saw the trailer enough to remember. Essentially the filmmakers gave 20 digital cameras to high school students to be passed around (maybe over a year) and edited the footage into a documentary.

The only problem is . . . I can't recall the title! I know what it is but just cannot remember. Saw the damned title card in previews for about a month.

Yep. I haven't watched it yet, but I heard it's long and very good. Too bad it hasn't released on DVD yet.
