Davis Guggenheim
USA | 2010 | 102mins | 35mm | Colour
For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates. Despite increased spending and politicians’ promises, the buckling public education system, once the best in the world, routinely forsakes the education of millions of children.Oscar® winning filmmaker Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) follows a handful of promising kids through a system that inhibits, rather than encourages, academic growth, Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying ‘drop-out factories’ and ‘academic sinkholes,’ methodically dissecting the system and its seemingly intractable problems.
