Strangers No More was shot on location at the Bialik-Rogozin School in Tel Aviv. It is produced and directed by Karen Goodman and Kirk Simon of Simon & Goodman Picture Company, whose films have received four Academy Award nominations and three Emmy Awards.

Dans une toute petite commune rurale d'Auvergne, l'école primaire est assurée par un unique instituteur, Georges Lopez, qui accueille dans sa classe une quinzaine d'enfants dont le niveau va de la maternelle au CM2. Le documentaire s'intéresse aux conditions d'enseignement et de vie dans ce cadre particulier, aux relations qui se tissent entre les élèves et leur professeur, ainsi qu'au rapport entre l'enseignant et les parents d'élèves. L'approche pédagogique de l'instituteur est mise en avant.

Tourné dans l'école pour enfants sourds de Margate dans le Kent en Angleterre, le film s'intéresse aux visages et aux gestes de petits garçons et petites filles. L'école apprend la lecture sur les lèvres plutôt que la langue des signes, et le film note que seulement un enfant sur trois finit par acquérir un véritable langage parlé.

The documentary follows one of the classes attending JFK High School in Newark, New Jersey, as they prepare for graduation. In a year and a half they will graduate from the public school system and go on to their next stage of life. What makes Janet Mino's class different from some others is that she teaches special needs students and some might find it difficult to move on to things that others without disabilities would find easier to accomplish.

En 1956, le Docteur Paskowitz avait tout réussi : médecin renommé, sportif accompli, il faisait même ses débuts dans la politique locale à Hawaï. Bref, c'était le parfait exemple du rêve américain. Ou du moins le croyait-il, jusqu'à LA révélation...

The Boys of Baraka reveals the human faces of a tragic statistic – 61 percent of Baltimore's African-American boys fail to graduate from high school; 50 percent of them go straight on to jail. Behind these figures lies the grimmer realities of streets ruled by drug dealers, families fractured by addiction and prison and a public school system seemingly surrendered to uncontrolable chaos. As simply portrayed in Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady's award-winning documentary, which has its national broadcast premiere on public television's POV, a generation of inner-city children faces dilemmas that would undo most adults. In this case, they are told early on that they face three stark "dress" options by their 18th birthdays – prison orange, a suit in a box, or a high school cap and gown.
