High School (1968)

High School is a 1968 American documentary film directed by Frederick Wiseman that shows a typical day for a group of students at Northeast High School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was one of the first direct cinema (or cinéma vérité) documentaries. It was shot over five weeks in March and April 1968. The film was banned from Philadelphia for a number of years for its depiction of high-schoolers as oppressed. Few Northeast students, faculty or administrators actually saw the film, so this perception was largely based on hearsay, newspaper editorials and anger at not being able to see the film.
