Halls of Anger (1970)

United Artists
Directed by Paul Bogart
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, MGM Limited Edition Collection)

Reverse racism is the topic of this 1970 drama. A group of white kids, including a young Rob Reiner and Jeff Bridges, are bused to a predominantly black high school. An idealistic black teacher is there to help guide the confused young folks. It feels like a TV movie of the week, and lacks any real dramatic push, especially given the subject matter.
