Spy High at Alamo Lamar 3

Mar 9, 2025

3:00pm – 5:29pm CT

Check out the Conference Session The Art of the Doc Pitch: Spy High

A four-part series from Mark Wahlberg's Unrealistic Ideas, Spy High explores the story of 15-year-old Blake Robbins, whose entire life changed when he was called into his high school principal's office and accused of selling drugs - the evidence to back the claim being a photo of him taken in his bedroom. Blake and his family filed a lawsuit claiming that his prestigious public school was spying on him, causing a media frenzy, triggering an FBI investigation, and exposing new evidence that sends his wealthy suburban township into an uproar. Beneath this juicy suburban scandal lie more troubling revelations with implications in the larger war over digital privacy being waged in schools today.
