Middletown
Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss
USA, 2025, 1hr 10 mins
In the early 1990s, a group of high schoolers in suburban New York—guided by their inspiring but unconventional teacher—made a student film that uncovered a toxic waste scandal threatening their town. Thirty years later, Middletown revisits this unlikely investigation in a captivating blend of hard-hitting journalism and heartwarming coming-of-age storytelling.
Moving between archival footage and present-day reflections, Middletown is as hilarious as it is powerful. This is a story of civic courage, environmental justice, and teenage kicks—or Erin Brockovich meets The Breakfast Club.
