School on Fire
AudienceAudience: 7.3
A young schoolgirl, Yuen Fong becomes caught in a tragic stranglehold of triad activity after she testifies in court over a triad beating. When this news reaches the triad leader Brother Smart, Yuen Fong must pay him protection money for what she has done as events begin to escalate.
My takeA gritty 1988 drama where educational chaos and institutional collapse create tension and urgency. Arlo finds himself in the raw, unfiltered reality of systems failing those they're meant to serve, with an edge of dark social commentary.
