In 1991 Upstate New York, a group of teenage misfits, inspired by a renegade English teacher, embark on a student film project. During the process the group uncover a vast conspiracy that is poisoning the ground beneath their feet. Banding together to confront indifferent adults, corrupt politicians, and a violent criminal organization threatening their small town, they produce an investigative documentary that causes shockwaves throughout their community.

Teenage Wasteland is a coming-of-age story based on exclusive access to hundreds of hours of candid, humorous, and nostalgic video outtakes, and the cooperation of Fred Isseks and his intrepid students as they reckon—thirty years later—with a defining event in their lives and a remarkable story of civic courage.

Co-directed by Amanda McBaine & Jesse Moss, Teenage Wasteland stars Isaac Levi Anthony, Varda Appleton, David Birmingham, Carly Cannata, Jeffrey Dutemple, Fred Isseks, Grant S. Johnson, Seychelles Mizel, Amy Parra-Gonzalez, Rachel Raimist, Michael Regan, Nicholas René Rodriguez and Jack Stone.
