Hard Times at Douglass High: A No Child Left Behind Report Card
Another film in the HBO documentary series, this time a stark and fairly critical look at what Bush's education plan has done to screw inner-city schools even more. Like an episode of the Wire: Season 4, this film is set in the Baltimore ghetto at a historically black high school.
Ganja Queen
Documentary about an Australian woman imprisoned in Indonesia for allegedly smuggling drugs into the country. Interesting film, but really sheds little light on what actually happened. It hints at all sorts of corruption and deceit revolving around Schapelle Corby's trial, but in the end everything seems even less clear than at the beginning. Scattershot attempt to make sense of it all, but it falls short on the narrative front.
