Synopsis:
In the crime-riddled city of Newark, New Jersey, facing adversity and overcoming obstacles is just part of the daily experience for most students at St. Benedict’s Prep. But headmaster Father Edwin Leahy, a man known for his groundbreaking and unconventional approach toward education, has turned this school into a safe haven for the young men who walk its halls - at St. Benedict’s, much of the decision-making rests with the students themselves, a tactic designed to empower the mostly black and Hispanic student body.
