Boarding School: Boys to Men (2015)

The fascination with the English boarding school, often regarded as the privileged training ground for future politicians and business leaders, has only increased over the years thanks to fictional depictions like Harry Potter's Hogwarts. This fascinating and insightful film discovers how the traditional boarding school system has shaped a group of men first filmed 33 years ago in an elite boys school called Radley College. Drawing on often jaw-dropping archive footage from the BBC series Public School it picks up the stories of the boys featured in the series. The men are open, articulate and surprising as they let viewers into their hopes and fears as the boys seen in the footage and their triumphs and disappointments as the men they are today. One thing they share is the undeniable impact boarding school had on their lives.
