    A half-hour documentary short that's equal parts uplifting and heartbreaking.

    The driving force of the film is inspirational rather than investigative, but this is an appropriate approach both to the material and to the subjects. ... Even as a shorthand recounting, the film is powerful since nearly ever minute of it is charged; among kids, even platitudes become poignant, borrowed phrases eloquent.

    At a half-hour, Song of Parkland is too darn short. And some perspective from the parents of the teens here would have been welcome.
