Ganadora de un Premio Ignatz, Patrulla 142 sigue a un grupo de scouts y a sus monitores a lo largo de una semana en un campamento en los bosques de New Jersey, durante el verano de 1995. Historia sobre adolescentes y adultos, Patrulla 142 nos muestra la delgada línea que separa la infancia de la edad adulta y las consecuencias de un posicionamiento autoritario. Prescindiendo de visiones idílicas, Dawson describe la comicidad y la brutalidad inherentes a las relaciones entre jóvenes y adultos, la hipocresía de la moral institucional y la resistencia del espíritu humano.
