Country: UK
Genre: Documentary
Synopsis
Mulberry Bush in Oxford, U.K., is a unique boarding school that caters to children who have been expelled from regular schools for extreme behavior. The three-year program gives them the chance to turn their lives around and re-enter the regular school system. The film spends a year at the school following the progress of four charming but troubled boys. All have severe problems with anger and violence; they punch, kick, spit and curse at the remarkably patient teachers who are trained never to raise their voices and who encourage the students to express their emotions. The film compassionately captures the battle these children go through to give voice to the hurt they carry inside. It is a sensitive and heart-wrenching study of the results of family dysfunction and also stands witness to the effects-bad and good-adults have on growing children.

9 / 10 Certainly, I am not qualified to rate this documentary. I do commend the staff's patience with these children. Their efforts will hopefully give them the sense of achievement, which is even better than winning an Oscar. I do hope these kids will have a chance in life.
