This is "Rhythm Is It" (vs "Rhythm It Is"). Thanks, Buri! Google the phrase for a YouTube preview and the film website. It's not on Amazon. I saw this when it came out in theatres here a couple of years ago. You're right - it really brings home so much. What sticks out to me is the scene where the choreographer is pushing the kids further than they've ever been pushed, telling them what they're giving (regarding discipline and attention) just isn't enough. One of the teachers tells him 'they're trying as hard as they can. You can't expect Hauptschule students to give you more than that - they just don't have it in them'. Cut to student: 'Of course we can give more, try harder, when we put our minds to it'. Take that, system.
