Mentor

In both 2006 and 2010 Mentor, Ohio was selected as one of America's Top 100 Cities to Live. But over those five years, an alarming number of teens from this proud upperclass enclave committed suicide. 'Mentor' follows the families of two victims as they uncover a shocking history of bullying at Mentor High School. They realize what their children already knew: going to class meant a daily battle simply to survive. The families join forces in search of answers and justice, filing an unprecedented lawsuit against the school district for the death of their children that is met with willful denial and destroyed evidence. Through unflinching storytelling, 'Mentor' captures just how disturbing and dangerous protecting the status quo can be.
