Synopsis

"KIDS IN AMERICA is the story of what happens when an authoritarian principal cracks down on free speech at a high school. It's inspired by real events that took place in schools across the country. In the film, seven teens are encouraged by a passionate teacher to band together to stage a series of demonstrations to protest the hypocrisy they see in their school administration".

"That's the 'plot' of the film. But it's also a story of teen camaraderie. It's a love story. It's about discovering who you are and what you're capable of. I hope it motivates people to fight the injustices they find in the world around them".

"Oh, and did I mention all the teen sex! Just kidding..."

- Josh Stolberg (director)
