Idealistic teenagers really do change the world in Middletown, a fascinating documentary about a high school project that became a genuinely groundbreaking work of investigative journalism.

An inspiring teacher encourages his upper state New York class of ‘91 to make a video which becomes an exposé of a toxic waste dumping scandal uncovering political corruption and organised crime. The now middle aged protagonists look back at this transformative experience with humour and emotional insight.

"The duo behind 'Boys State' and 'Girls State' craft a story that has the beats of a '60 Minutes' segment, with hints of the emotional insights of a John Hughes movie." — Lisa Kennedy, Variety
