A high-school teacher, assigned the thankless task of teaching dictatorship as part of the
school‘s project week, decides
to spice up his lessons by conducting a decidedly unorthodox
experiment in this adaptation of the popular novel by Todd Strasser. Though his students are
initially apathetic about the prospect of being schooled in the evils of fascism yet again,
the
lesson soon takes an unexpected turn of events that no one in the classroom could have seen
coming. Tod Strasser’s book tells about a real social experiment that happened in Cubberley
High School in Palo Alto, California in 1969.
