The Tony Award–winning musical Spring Awakening—with book and lyrics by Steven Sater and music by Duncan Sheik—centers on a group of troubled but ordinary teenagers who take on a repressive adult world, singing aloud the things they don’t often feel safe saying otherwise. This documentary film follows a group of students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School as they rehearse a production of the musical in the weeks and months following a devastating mass shooting that left 17 people dead and more than a dozen others injured.
