This is nothing more than a vanity project...by a filmmaker who hasn't got a very impressive portfolio.
Poor black kid gets a scholarship to a rich white school...and then, made this film.
Not exactly compulsive viewing.

The(ir) Blurb...
As a teenager, Andre Robert Lee's full scholarship to attend a prestigious Philadelphia prep school was supposed to be his way up and out out of the ghetto, but this elite education came at a high personal cost. Join him as he revisits the events of his adolescence while also spending time with current-day prep school students to see how much has changed inside the ivory tower and find out who really pays the consequences for yesterday's accelerated desegregation and today's racial naivete.
