A Miracle On New York's Mean Streets
St. Augustine's school is located in the poorest section of the South Bronx.With attendance down the school faced a certain closure when the teachers and principal decided to commit the school to an arts curriculum, one where the arts, and especially music, were treated with the importance of any academic subject.
This is the story of this remarkable school and the children whose lives it has shaped.In a course of six years, the enrollment tripled and academic scores once among the lowest in New York improved dramatically.Through interviews and extraordinary footage - Something Within Me offers an intimate look at the education process and the effectiveness of one of our nation's most underdeveloped teaching tools, the arts.
