Waiting for 'Superman'
Guggenheim, Davis http://cosmos-documentaries.blogspot.ca/2013/04/waiting-for-superman-documentary-film.html
Year Published: 2010
Resource Type: Film
The failures of the American public education system is examined by following several students as they strive to be accepted into a charter school.
Abstract: Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim reminds us that education "statistics" have names: Anthony, Francisco, Bianca, Daisy, and Emily, whose stories make up the engrossing foundation of WAITING FOR SUPERMAN. As he 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. 111 mins.
