Named by TakePart.com as one of “10 Education Documentaries You Don’t Want to Miss,” Race to Nowhere brings communities together to spark dialogue and galvanize change in America’s schools.

Featuring the stories of students across the country who have been pushed to the brink by over-scheduling, over-testing and the relentless pressure to achieve, the film points to a silent epidemic in our schools. Through the testimony of educators, parents and education experts, it reveals an education system in which cheating has become commonplace; students have become disengaged; stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant; and young people arrive at college and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.

Shown nationwide and internationally in more than 7,000 schools, universities, cinemas, hospitals, corporations and community centers, Race to Nowhere has become the centerpiece of a nationwide, grassroots movement for the transformation of education.
