International Community School to Host Documentary Screening

"A Place in the World" is about the charter school that used to be based in Avondale Estates.

The International Community School will host a screening this weekend of A Place in the World, a documentary that chronicles the school and its diverse study body.

The screening will be held in the school cafeteria on Saturday, April 27, from 6 to 9:30 p.m., according to the Medlock Area Neighborhood Association.

The school operated for years in Avondale Estates until last year, when it moved to Medlock Park just outside Decatur. Patch told you about the documentary – including its trailer – last April.

The movie's website says the film "follows three families with ties to the school, a first-year teacher, and the new principal of the school over the course of two years, as they adapt to, and learn from, this diverse and complex social environment. The film asks the question of whether we can learn to live together in this rapidly changing world."

Adam Maurer and William Silva Reddington are the directors.
