This was the second Schoolbreak Special I worked on and one of my favorites. Two teens get in trouble for publishing their own paper and distributing it at school. 1st Amendment rights are explored with sensitivity and depth and the end result was an effective little film. The cast was excellent and I will never forget the long hours and hard work it took to pull this off with the limited budget CBS provided for this project.
Producers Brad Wigor and Joe Maurer bumped me up from Production Coordinator to Associate Producer on this one and I am forever grateful to them for all the support they gave me on this and other the productions I worked with them on.
