Documentary on Transition

I received a notice from school that there will be a show, Best Kept Secret, following a special education teacher at the John F. Kennedy High School in Newark, NJ. It follows them for a year and a half prior to their graduation, in other words through transition. "This is a personal story about some young men who live with (autism) and their very dedicated teacher in one remarkable school. It’s about the struggles they face beyond the confines of that school,” said Samantha Buck, the film’s director, who indicated that she was inspired to tell a story about how autism affects those from minority and less-financially-secure backgrounds. 'Best Kept Secret' will open on Friday in theaters in New York and Los Angeles. PBS' POV will broadcast nationally on Sept 23 at 10 pm EST.
