The third episode in the film series âThe Mind Insideâ continues to explore the mission of providing services for public school students in Nebraska.
Filmed before the pandemic, the one-hour documentary from I Love Public Schools follows two North Platte school leaders, Brandy Buscher and Officer Jeremiah Johnson, who act as the first line of defense for students in crisis.
âI was kind of skeptical about it a little bit,â Johnson said. âNot understanding the intentions, not understanding the whole series that they were doing, for me it was a little nerve-wracking.â
The hardest part for him, Johnson said, was once the filming was done seeing how his and Buscherâs work would be portrayed.
