Paper Tigers follows
six troubled teens over
the course of a year at
Lincoln Alternative High
School in rural Walla
Walla, Washington.
Considered a last chance before dropping
out, many students come to Lincoln
with a history of behavioral problems,
truancy, and substance abuse.
Then, in 2010, Principal Jim Sporleder
learned about the science of what a
rough childhood does to a developing
brain. “Stressed brains can’t learn” was
what he took away from an educational
conference. He returned to his school
convinced that traditional punishments
like suspension were only exacerbating
the problems of the students there.
Sporleder says: “I was hunting everywhere
for the curriculum. It’s not a
curriculum. So it was trying to figure
out, how do you take this theory and
put it into practice?”
Sporleder invited the staff, as well as the
students, to learn about the landmark
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)
Study, which shows that stressful events
during childhood—like divorce,domestic
violence, or living with someone with a
mental illness—massively increases the
risk of problems in adulthood. Problems
like addiction, suicide and even heart
disease have their roots in childhood
experience. Suspension became a last
resort as the school formed an in-school
suspension program, keeping the kids
in contact with the staff and caught up
with their homework. They also established
a health center on campus so the
students would have ready access to
pediatricians and mental health counselors.
The biggest challenge for the
teachers was to consider the source of
the kids’ behavior. Science teacher Erik
Gordon realizes: “The behavior isn’t
the kid. The behavior is a symptom of
what’s going on in their life.”
Told with intimate vérité and diary cam
footage, Paper Tigers is a testament to
what the latest developmental science is
proving: that one caring adult can help
break the cycle of adversity in a young
person’s life. We follow students like
Aron, a senior who avoids eye contact
and barely speaks in class; freshman
Kelsey, who struggles with meth addiction
and abusive relationships; and
Steven, a senior who has been in and
out of juvenile hall since junior high
for fights and threatening teachers. As
the teachers slowly gain their students’
trust, they hear harrowing tales of physically
abusive and negligent parents,
homelessness, sexual abuse… The list
goes on.
Despite the upheaval in their home lives,
the students find the support they need
at Lincoln to make academic progress,
and find less destructive ways of coping.
They also find hope for becoming
healthy and productive adults as they go
out into the world.

Peter Jackson, best known for directing The
Lord of the Rings trilogy, has created a new
film using original footage from Imperial
War Museums’ extensive archive, much of it
previously unseen, alongside BBC and IWM
interviews with servicemen who fought in
the conflict. Footage has been colourised,
converted to 3D and transformed with
modern production techniques to present
never before seen detail.
They Shall Not Grow Old was given its Royal
World Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival
on 16 October, attended by Peter Jackson and
the Duke of Cambridge. The simulcast included
a special post screening Q&A with Jackson,
hosted by film critic Mark Kermode. The film
was simultaneously screened in 2D and 3D to
cinemas, schools and special venues across the
UK, as well as its TV broadcast premier on BBC
Two on 11 November.
The First World War proved to be a landmark
in cinema history – the first time that the
horrors of war could be caught on camera.
Many hours of dramatic footage were filmed
on the battlefields, capturing the realities of the
conflict in remarkable and unprecedented detail.
This footage provided the public at home with
astonishing access to the frontline: The Battle of
the Somme, a documentary film produced with
the cooperation of the War Office, was seen by
an estimated 20 million Britons in its first six
weeks of release.
A documentary about World
War I with never-before-seen
footage to commemorate the
centennial of Armistice Day, and
the end of the war.

It’s a Wonderful Life
It’s a Wonderful Life is a
1946 American Christmas
fantasy drama film produced
and directed by Frank Capra,
based on the short story and
booklet The Greatest Gift,
which Philip Van Doren Stern
wrote in 1939 and published
privately in 1943. The film is
one of the most beloved in
American cinema, and has
become traditional viewing
during the Christmas season.
The film stars James Stewart as George
Bailey, a man who has given up his
dreams to help others, and whose
imminent suicide on Christmas Eve
brings about the intervention of his
guardian angel, Clarence Odbody
(Henry Travers). Clarence shows
George all the lives he has touched, and
how different life in his community of
Bedford Falls would be if he had never
been born.
the production cost, a figure it did not
come close to achieving on its initial
release. An appraisal in 2006 reported:
“Although it was not the complete boxoffice
failure that today everyone believes
... it was initially a major disappointment
and confirmed, at least to the studios,
that Capra was no longer capable of
turning out the populist features that
made his films the must-see, moneymaking
events they once were.”
It’s a Wonderful Life is now considered
one of the greatest films of all time.
It was nominated for five Academy
Awards, including Best Picture, and has
been recognized by the American Film
Institute as one of the 100 best American
films ever made,[4] as number 11 on
its initial 1998 greatest movie list, as
number 20 on its revised 2007 greatest
movie list, and as number one on its list
of the most inspirational American films
of all time. Capra revealed that it was
his personal favorite among the films he
directed and that he screened it for his
family every Christmas season.
