Fun film that tells how important it is to get facts, a second opinion, and other information to get a balanced overview before making a decision. A community group meets to debate whether a new junior high school is needed. Some people are adamantly for and some opposed. These people are encouraged to go out and get information....And so they do! From the library, but experts, and from other sources. A pretty simple film but entertaining nevertheless.
