In the early 1990s, Fred Isseks was an unconventional teacher at Middletown High School, in whose class, Electronic English, he inspired his students to make a student film that uncovered a vast conspiracy involving toxic waste. The students, armed with video cameras and youthful determination, confronted a powerful opposition. With access to hundreds of hours of video tape shot by the students, filmmakers Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss craft a humorous, tenacious and inspirational story of civic courage.
