SYNOPSIS:
In The Hive, a gritty film, based on the real experiences of the people who attend and teach at a special school in North Carolina called “The Hive.” It’s based on a true story about this woman in North Carolina named Vivian Saunders, who basically without any formal education, started an alternative school for at risk boys, who were expelled or discarded from regular schools. Not only were these boys gang bangers and drug dealers, they’re all teenagers, fathers at 14 and 15 years old as well.
In The Hive is a movie about the power of love and a gripping reminder that we can all make a difference in a childs life, even the ones whove been relegated to the discarded heap for far too long.
