I watched this on Showtime back in 2001. Funny how this movie was shown on Showtime, yet I come here, and there's almost no information. This movie is below B-level in terms of budget, and also in some cases, rather one dimensional. The storyline mostly dealt with racism, drugs, and life in the streets. However, there are two main characters to this movie: One was an African-American high school student, the other was a Jewish female news reporter. Though a lot of the characters, including the protagonists were very stereotypical. Also the way it was presented looked more like it was released in the late 1980s. I haven't seen this movie since that particular year. Though I'll admit that it was an okay movie in terms of plot, but the movie wasn't good either. I still remember the scene when the black students were holding their racist teacher hostage, but that scene had bad acting, particularly the actor playing the teacher. I wouldn't mind watching it again, if I find a way, but I wouldn't buy it any means.
