Seven Days War

1988 · 94 min

A lively, earnest teen rebellion that balances light comedy with the serious stakes of kids standing up to authority.

A community is in turmoil when junior high schoolers barricade themselves in an empty factory to protest the draconian rules of parents and teachers. They're sick of heavy-handed teachers and iron-fisted parents. And now they're going to do something about it.
