Indianapolis has one of the lowest high school graduation rates in the country. Night School follows three adult students living in the city’s more impoverished neighborhoods as they attempt to earn their diplomas while juggling other difficult responsibilities and realities. Through their stories, the filmmakers explore many issues that low-income Americans deal with, including unjust minimum wage and working conditions, arbitrary legal hindrances, and race and gender inequality.
“A staggering achievement of craft and ambition. Andrew Cohn's vision lands with breathtaking precision.”
“Every frame feels alive. Night School is the rare release that takes its audience seriously.”
