Directors Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg discuss with Jan Price their new documentary, "My So-Called High School Rank," – now streaming on HBO and HBO Max! MY SO-CALLED HIGH SCHOOL RANK chronicles the creation of a musical theater production at Granite Bay High School in Sacramento, CA, inspired by students' stories of the constant pressures to achieve a top rank in every part of their lives to get ahead in today's fierce college admissions process. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

MY SO-CALLED HIGH SCHOOL RANK goes deep into the lives of high school students in three radically disparate communities as they navigate the pressures around college while staging a musical, until seismic events upend their dreams and expectations. Months before the college admissions scandal made headlines in 2019, students in Sacramento, CA were busy creating a new musical that drew from their own experiences as talented but very anxious students – all focused on getting into the same top schools. RANKED, the musical, premiered just weeks before Federal charges were levied against Rick Singer, the mastermind behind the college bribing scandal the FBI dubbed Varsity Blues. As word about the musical spread, schools around the country reached out to stage it with their students. The film features the “Ranked” creators Kyle Holmes and David Taylor Gomes, as well as students, parents and staff of Granite Bay High School and Cupertino High School in California, Fordham High School for the Arts in New York City, and Ripley High School in West Virginia. Co-directors New York filmmakers Ricki Stern (The Devil Came on Horseback, Surviving Jeffrey Epstein) and Annie Sundberg (Reversing Roe, Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work), join us on how they went about capturing this generation's shared, hopeful fortitude across America's many divides. Streaming on hbo.com starting 11/29 - My So-Called High School Rank Is now available on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. More on the films of Ricki & Annie: breakthrufilms.org

My So-Called High School Rank, premiering on HBO and HBO MAX, is a special documentary that gives an unfiltered view into the private loneliness and pressures of teenage life. This was especially true in March 2020 when students were forced to settle into new realities, feeling isolated and frustrated with so much out of their control. This timely documentary chronicles the creation of a musical theater production at Granite Bay High School in Sacramento, California, and is inspired by students' stories of the constant pressures to achieve a top rank in every part of their lives to get ahead in today's fierce college admissions process. In an uncanny case of art anticipating real life, Granite Bay's musical “Ranked” was in the works weeks before Rick Singer and the “Varsity Blues” scandal made headlines in 2019. The play's apt timing and subject matter speak to a culture where many students feel driven to succeed at any cost. As news emerged of the production of a musical exploring these critical issues, other schools reached out to stage their own productions. High schoolers around the country connected with the show's themes as they themselves struggle to find their place in the world amid intense college admissions competition.    The film chronicles auditions and rehearsals at three high schools from Ripley, West Virginia to Cupertino, California to the Bronx, New York where students face similar challenges despite dramatically different life circumstances. It also charts the success of the musical and the first steps towards the realization of the creators' dream to mount the show on Broadway only to be sidelined by the global shutdown. Shot over two years in public schools representing vastly different communities,  My So-Called High School Rank reveals the remarkable resilience and similarities that bind this generation across economic and racial divides.    The award-winning producers and directors, Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg's films and series have been shortlisted for the Oscars and earned multiple Emmy and Peabody nominations, among other honors. They are joined by two fabulous and inspirational students featured in the documentary. Anvita Gattani who played the original role of Jordan in Ranked at Granite Bay High School is currently studying at NYU Tisch. Nahiely Urbaez Cruz is a former student at Fordham High School for the Arts and is currently at Cornell University. You are not going to want to miss this meaningful conversation.    SHOW NOTE LINKS: My So-Called High School Rank Trailer Ranked- Movie Link Break Thru Films NAMI- National Alliance on Mental Illness Rachel's Article About Becoming and Letting Go of a Newborn Adult Rachel's Podcast About Becoming Grown and Flown   CONNECT WITH US! *Dear Family, Podcast Page *Write Now Rachel Website *Rachel's Blog @Medium *Rachel's Twitter *Facebook *Instagram   PLEASE JOIN: *Dear Family Members, the Private Facebook Group   WAYS TO HELP THE PODCAST: *PLEASE Leave a 5-Star Review and Subscribe!   Thank you!

In this episode of Inside Crime+Investigation, the Surviving Jeffrey Epstein documentary series directors Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg speak exclusively with A+E Networks’ VP of Programming, Dan Korn about the making of the series - and being sure to tell the story through the lens of the survivors. In the ground-breaking series Surviving Jeffrey Epstein, we delve into the accusations of sex abuse and trafficking faced by Epstein prior to his death in 2019. With insights from members of Epstein’s inner circle and telling the stories of eight key survivors, the four-hour documentary series reveals the full extent and horrors of Epstein’s sex trafficking network, as well as his connections to the rich and powerful on both sides of the Atlantic, used to cover-up his prolific and sordid crimes. Some of the subject matter within this episode is disturbing and is not suitable for younger listeners. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We like to believe that decisions made in U.S. courts are determined by the fairness of the Constitution, judges, and juries of our peers. But sadly that is just wishful thinking. In this episode we explore 2 cases in which innocent men Anthony Porter, Alstory Jackson, and Darryl Hunt are put behind bars after their extensive, unjust, wrongful convictions.

Forty-five years after it revolutionized abortion law in America, the landmark 1973 US Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade is once again at a crossroads. In their timely new documentary REVERSING ROE, fil mmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (THE DEVIL CAME ON HORSEBACK, MARATHON: THE PATRIOT'S DAY BOMBING) present a deeply illuminating look of the state of abortion and women's rights in America. The film offers candid and riveting interviews with key figures from both sides of the divide, among them doctors Colleen McNicholas and Curtis Boyd; feminist icon Gloria Steinem; Operation Rescue president Troy Newman; and National Right to Life president Carol Tobias. Intense and unflinching in its commitment to telling the whole story, REVERSING ROE provides a gripping look at what's happening on the ground in 2018. Drawing from a wealth of historical footage, it charts the period leading up to the Roe decision-and documents the opposition that has followed ever since. Regardless of where you stand on the issue of abortion, REVERSING ROE is essential viewing to understand how the country got here-and where it may be going.

It's part 2 of our great time at the Hampstons International Festival and the first segment is a real doozy! We talk to filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg about their stirring HBO documentary "Marathon: The Patriots Day Bombing." And along with them are two survivors of the bombing, Jessia Kensky and Patrick Downes, who give us amazing insight into their struggles after the horrific attack. And on the lighter side they introduce us to one of the coolest dogs you'll ever meet. Then filmmakers Daniel Mehr and Andrew Becker stop by to tell us about "Santoalla," a documentary about a real-life murder mystery in Spain. Last, but certainly not least, legendary Hollywood actor Robert Davi tells us about "Davi's Way" which documents his quest to honor his friend and hero Frank Sinatra. It's a cool and glamorous time!
