Synopsis:
The Perfect Life is a portrait of childhood in Harlem, as seen through the eyes of five former classmates at a private tuition-free grade school. After experiences in different public schools, the students reveal how the intervening years have brought new challenges and obstacles to their lives, and to what degree they have been able to meet them. The kids share a rare bond with the filmmaker – she was their teacher in the 2nd and 3rd grades. This connection allows for brutal honesty and candid disclosures about their teenage lives. Film footage of them at ages seven and ten captures the open and exuberant faces of children exploring their world. But flash-forward to the present, and in their senior years of high school, they struggle with their limitations while holding onto hope for the future – as Troy says, "to have a house, kids... the great American dream, the perfect life." Following the kids over two years, The Perfect Life tells their story in their own words and in the process reveals what is truly essential to the concept of “No Child Left Behindâ€.
