Welcome to Commie High

Film explores an experiment in public education -- Community High School. The film follows its humanistic, anti-establishment origins in the early 70s through its survival into the 90s, when sudden demand for this alternative, small school led to a phenomenon of lines, camping and lottery systems. Today Community High stands as one of the few remaining public schools from America's "free school" movement. Filmed over the 2016 -- 2017 school year, we see how the "Commie High" model has evolved and continues to reflect the world around it.
