The Class

While school continues with online learning, students organize a protest against the decision to put police officers on campus. Ebei and Kadynce hold out hope that sports will come back, and Ahmad continues playing AAU basketball to get the attention of recruiters. As mid-semester nears more than 50% of students have at least one F, leaving Mr. Cam to wonder how the system is failing the students.

In the East Bay community of Antioch, CA the students of Deer Valley High School and their college adviser Mr. Cam are filled with expectations as they near their final year of high school. But when COVID lockdowns threaten their hopes for senior year, Mr. Cam’s students must grapple with a changed world amid the challenges of applying to college.
