    Episode 8: Try Harder! and the Pressures of High School with Debbie Lum

    On Episode 8, director Debbie Lum joins us to talk about her new documentary Try Harder! and what she learned about the pressure of college admissions and how it impacts the mental health of the predominantly Asian American student body of Lowell High School. TRY HARDER! Is available now to rent or buy on Amazon, AppleTV (iTunes) and more! At Lowell High School, the top public high school in San Francisco, the seniors are stressed out. As they prepare for the emotionally draining college application process, students are keenly aware of the intense competition for the few open spots in their dream colleges. At Lowell—where cool kids are nerds, nearly everyone has an amazing talent, and most of the student body is Asian American—the things that usually make a person stand out can feel commonplace. With humor and heart, director Debbie Lum captures the reality of the American college application process and the intersection of class, race, and educational opportunity as young adults navigate a quintessential rite of passage.
