The plot introduction of American Teenager

The film records the experiences of these five teenagers with different growth backgrounds and different personalities in their final year of high school, hoping to reflect the real life of ordinary high school students in the United States from one aspect. Colin, an athletic student, is the star on the basketball court at Wausau Middle School, but his family background is modest. If he does not receive a scholarship for athletic students, he will lose the opportunity to go to college. Hannah, who has a rebellious personality, dreams of becoming a film director. She is not satisfied with the ordinary life in a small town. She hopes to be admitted to the California Film Academy for further study, but she is regarded as whimsical by those around her. The little princess Megan is the darling of the family. She is smart, beautiful, and popular in school. However, her seemingly perfect life is only on the surface. In fact, she bears the huge expectations of her father for her to be admitted to a prestigious school. But she was a little powerless. There is also Jack, a funny master who seems to have a lot of witty words, but he is actually just using jokes to hide his shyness; and Mickey, a heartthrob, who learns to grow through misunderstandings and friendships with his companions. These five teenagers also re-examined their high school careers during the filming of the documentary. They all had their own growth experiences. Hannah Bailey: Our school is a bit special. It's a big campus but it's in a small town. It's very different from a middle school in a big city. But I think like all high school students, we have to bear the same pressure and experience rebelliousness and embarrassment ( process) I believe every high school student will have this kind of growth experience.

Of course the life under the lens is not 100% real, but the audience can learn more about their children from the film and relive their youth memories at the same time.
