Well... There's quite a bit we don't know. As well as this was curated, we don"t know how it was curated.
I did more research about this.
It took two years to complete as well as after school classes for all the students.
This project discusses things like education, sexuality, culture, and drugs. It's not as non-scripted as they portray it to be... In a way. During these "classes", they discussed how to use the correct vocabulary around these topics. These were not random teenagers as they were actually somewhat trained.
I have mixed feelings on whether it was "successful" or not. One scene was a young girl saying it was too controlled and "felt like it wasn't about them anymore". I disagree with her. I believe if you put 220 young adults on a rooftop of a parking garage, in front of a camera somethings bound to go haywire. And the whole thing was made for them so she's kind of oblivious. It was effective in a few ways to me and others not so much. It got the conversation started but not in an efficient way. I felt like displaying the conversations that every one wants to talk about, but not actually opening it up to the people viewing was an interesting decision. Although, they did have another project later called Code 33: Emergency Clear the Air. (1997-1999)- almost the same concept but with local police involved in the conversation, among young adults. I found this project a bit more interesting.
