For a nation that proudly declared it would leave no child behind, America continues to do so at alarming rates.  Academy Award winning documentarian Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) weaves together the stories of students, families, educators and reformers to shed light on the failing public school system and its consequences on the future of the United States. Guggenheim undertakes an exhaustive review of public education, surveying “drop-out factories” and “academic sinkholes,” and methodically dissecting the system while deftly examining the options to improve public education and provide America's teachers and students with the help they need.
