[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess when the Brewsters started this project, they never thought this was going to be about their two subjects having learning disabilities rather than that AA boys are treated in a way that makes achievement at a white prep school difficult. So they released their documentary anyway because those 13 years of investment and filming would have gone to waste. What they believe may be true in some environments but I think they need to acknowledge successful AA boys who go onto do well at college and in their professional careers.[/quote]

They set it up, so you have to wonder if they specifically sent their child there knowing it would be a struggle to make a movie and get attention and money from the film.  It may have been a situation where no matter what the school did, the parents had that viewpoint and nothing the school did would be good enough.  They knew sending their child, that their child would be a minority and what comes with it.  Personally, I'd never send my child into a situation like that as it to me is setting them up for failure.[/quote]
