AUGUSTA, GONE, is based on a true story and follows the life of Augusta, a teenager who spins out of control once she hits 15. Augusta’s drinking and drug use compels her divorced, working mother to go to extremes to try and help her.
THE PERFECT TEACHER, starring Megan Park as Devon Burke, is about a spoiled and beautiful high school student who always gets what she wants. And what she wants most is her handsome math professor Jim Wilkes, (David Charvet). She will stop at nothing to make sure they end up together and won’t take “no” for an answer.
FOR ONE NIGHT was inspired by the true story of an African American teenager (Raven-Symoné) who shook up a small town where high school proms had been racially segregated for decades. It’s the story of two women, a student and a reporter (Aisha Tyler), who attempt to reverse a long-standing racist tradition and make history, at least for one night.
DISC ONE Odd Girl Out / Augusta, Gone
DISC TWO The Perfect Teacher / For One Night
Surviving High School arrives on DVD with a 480p transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. The presentation is solid overall if a bit pay cable bland. Colors were natural and exhibited decent skintone reproduction. Blacks were about average with contrast a little too high for my liking. 7/10
Audio is provided by a Dolby Digital Stereo 2.0 track. Okay as expected this is a talk heavy track and the dialogue was crisp and clean. There weren't any great audiophile moments as expected but when music is played over the drama stereo separation was good. 7/10
