Boys of Baraka (The)
84 min.
A group of at-risk youths from Baltimore, Maryland are sent 10,000 miles away to an experimental boarding school in Kenya, Africa. The boys initially express their homesickness and unhappiness, but they're also removed from dangers faced back at home, such as gang violence, drugs, etc. Consequently, the boys are able to open up and explore, which proves to positively affect their educational performance.
