Brooklyn Castle is a documentary about I.S. 318 – an inner-city school where more than 65 percent of students are from homes with incomes below the federal poverty level – that also happens to have the best, most winning junior high school chess team in the country. (If Albert Einstein, who was rated 1800, were to join the team, he’d only rank fifth best.) Chess has transformed the school from one cited in 2003 as a “school in need of improvement” to one of New York City’s best. But a series of recession-driven public school budget cuts now threaten to undermine those hard-won successes.

American Teen segue a vida de cinco adolescentes - a garota popular, o garanhão da turma, o jogador de basquete, a artista rebelde e o nerd - durante o último ano do colégio em uma pequena cidade de Indiana, nos EUA. Com uma intimidade extraordinária e uma boa dose de humor, o filme acompanha as inseguranças, os problemas, os ciúmes, as paixões e os corações partidos, e vai além dos estereótipos colegiais, revelando jovens complexos batalhando para chegar à vida adulta.
