Aro Recommended American Teen

Dir. Nanette Burstein
Genres: Documentary / Youth, Sociology

Topics: Rites-of-passage.

 

Aroview: An intimate and often hilarious doco that was a surprise Sundance Festival hit that follows four high school seniors - 'the jock', 'the arsty one', 'the popular girl' and the 'geek', as they grapple with love, life and labels in a small town in Indiana.

Filmed daily over ten months, filmmaker Nanette Burstein (The Kid Stays in the Picture) developed a deep understanding of her subjects, and her film goes beyond the enduring stereotypes of high school to reveal complex young people trying to find their way into adulthood.
