What Juvenile Court Is About
Frederick Wiseman's documentary sits inside the juvenile court in Memphis and shows the range of what comes before it: foster placements, drug use, armed robbery, child abuse, sexual offences. The camera passes no comment; there is no narrator and no music, only rooms, conversations and decisions. The film makes visible the tension between protecting the community and salvaging a child, how narrow the court's options actually are, and how procedure works. Across a hundred and forty four minutes the viewer sits beside the bench and is left to reach a judgement alone.
