• Tucson High School’s Mexican American Studies Program has become a national model of educational success, with 93 percent of enrolled students graduating from high school. However, Arizona lawmakers are trying to shut the program down because they believe that the students are being indoctrinated with dangerous ideology and embracing destructive ethnic chauvinism. This film illustrates what motivates Tucson High School students and teachers to form the front line of an epic civil rights battle.
