About

If you’re drawn to urgent, real-world documentaries about ordinary people under pressure, this may hit hard, especially if you liked Flee or Armadillo; Not for you if you want escapism or light viewing.

Pros: intimate undercover perspective; tense, urgent stakes; eye-opening school footage | Cons: limited viewpoints beyond school; confronting subject matter; uneven pacing at times
