== Summary ==
The documentary begins by introducing Crystal Terriquez, Priscilla Rodriguez, Gilbert Esparza, and Mariah Harvey, all Mexican-American students at Tucson High School who participate in a Mexican-American studies programme designed to retain Hispanic students. Despite the apparent success of the program, there has been significant opposition in the community. The antagonist of the film, Tom Horne, argues that the true nature of the program is not to improve the education of the students, but instead is to orchestrate a Mexican uprising over the American Government. He proposed House Bill 2281, which would terminate the ethnic studies program at Tucson Unified School District, on the basis of claims of conspiracy to violently overthrow the government. The teachers and students of the MAS program then organized several protests and rallies to raise awareness about the proposed bill, including one where several students and teachers were arrested while protesting during a school board meeting. The bill has undergone several revisions, and it was signed into law by the governor of Arizona, Jan Brewer, though it is being appealed by TUSD. The movie ends when an MAS graduate is shown attending the University of Arizona. Following the events of the film, the Mexican-American studies program has been suspended by the school board.
