Answer
Hi Noah,

The film you are looking for is an Australian TV movie called "Fortress" which was released in 1986. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

""Fortress" explores a shocking concept which shows how easily a borderline between a victim and an attacker can be crossed. The children and the teacher, calm and peaceful by nature, when driven beyond their limits by the kidnappers, eventually respond with a cruelty and fury extending that of their oppressors."

Here is the film's trailer:

"Fortress" is available on VHS and DVD at Amazon.com, and eBay.

Best of luck,
Ryan
