OUTDOOR SCHOOL
Dir. Ime N. Etuk | United States | Drama | 2025 | 84 mins
Chicago Premiere
Based on a remarkable true story, Outdoor School is a feature film following 12-year-old Vin, a boy striving to keep up appearances at school despite secretly being homeless, sleeping in Portland’s parks with his little sister and mother after fleeing domestic violence.
Forced to mature quickly, Vin struggles to reconcile his vigilance with the innocence of childhood until his sixth-grade class attends the week-long Outdoor School camping trip. There, amidst the forest and the mentorship of caring adults, Vin finally finds a sense of belonging and community, experiencing for the first time what it feels like to simply be a kid.
