One high school's unlikely success story.
Paper Tigers is an intimate look at a year in the life of the students of Lincoln High School, an alternative school that specializes in educating traumatized youth. Set in the rural town of Walla Walla, WA, the film examines the concept of Trauma Informed Communities - a movement that shows great promise in healing youth struggling with the dark legacy of Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACES).
