Documentary Film, Race to Nowhere

"A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children's lives.

This remarkable new film shines a light on the price young people pay for this 'race to nowhere.'  High-stakes testing has replaced meaningful teaching and learning.  Cheating is commonplace.  Stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant.  Many young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

Attend a screening and become part of the grassroots phenomenon that is feeding a groundswell for change."
