* FairForItsDay: Nowadays, the film is widely regarded as a quintessential “white savior” film, and all the racial implications that trope comes with. However, the story is told with some accuracy, and it does uplift the BIPOC students in a way that other such films don’t. It also highlights the systemic racism that these kids deal with that forces them into their situations in the first place.
