About this product

Product Information

Documentary filmmaker Davis Guggenheim explores the tragic ways in which the American public education system is failing our nation's children, and explores the roles that charter schools and education reformers could play in offering hope for the future. We see the statistics every day -- students dropping out, science and math scores falling, and schools closing due to lack of funding. What we don't see are the names and faces of the children whose entire futures are at stake due to our own inability to enact change. There was a time when the American public education system was a model admired by the entire world. Today other countries are surpassing us in every respect, and the slogan "No Child Left Behind" has become a cynical punch line. Bianca, Emily, Anthony, Daisy, and Francisco are five students who deserve better. By investigating how the current system is actually obstructing their education instead of bolstering it, Guggenheim opens the door to considering possible options for transformation and improvement.

  • Be prepared to be shocked

    Any minority parent(s) needs to see this documentary. With the success of programs such as The Harlem Zone, one has to wonder why it isn't duplicated in other locales. How is it that in this 'super power' country we live in (USA), education lags so far behind other countries? If the masses are kept uneducated, they're easier to control. This is an absolute must see.
