Debbie Lum's documentary 'Try Harder' follows seniors at a public high school in San Francisco.
For the super-smart students of San Francisco’s prestigious, majority-Asian-American Lowell High School, college is practically a given.
All the kids are naturally compelling and wonderfully open, but some grab our hearts more than others, especially those whose home lives add an extra layer of complexity. Aspiring surgeon Alvan has an appealingly goofy personality and carries a realistic attitude about his prospects but bristles at the pressure placed on him by his Taiwanese immigrant parents. Shea can only attend Lowell if he lives with his dad, an addict who disappears for days at a time.
