...movie precisely because it avoids all the cliches of the lost-child genre. It has, instead, the look and the feel of a documentary. There is something objective, almost reportorial, in the way it presents its story. It does not sue us for our favor. And it does not cue our responses.

But without syllabi, students face a void of information and guidance that makes meaningful...
