Directed by new filmmaker Lerone Wilson, 23, the film explores the triumphs and shortcomings of President Bush's education reforms, with particular focus on the New York City schools, and Mayor Bloomberg's education reforms. The filmmaker also returns to the Michigan schools he attended while growing up, to further document the changing landscape of public education.
Wilson was introduced to the No Child Left Behind controversy while serving as a tutor at New York City's PS 217. “I remember one particular conversation where a teacher, knowing I was a filmmaker, said 'Lerone you have to do something' …and she was right”. Then a senior at New York University's film school, Wilson anticipated the film being completed in 6 months. Instead, he now stands at the conclusion of a year and a half journey surrounded in controversy.
“One woman who saw the film's trailer on my website, even called to berate me about how I was essentially a liberal propagandist.” he recalled. Wilson has since re-edited the film's trailer, yet complaints concerning its alleged political leanings continue from liberals and conservatives alike. “I've seen lots of hurtful, and offensive remarks flung around surrounding this issue. But after producing this film I've realized it's not out of ill will, rather because it's an issue that so many people have a vested interest in, and care passionately about.”

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
