The Reel World: The Depiction of Schools on Film

The May X will examine primarily films addressing poverty, class, race, and privilege as they intersect with the purposes and realities of public education in the U.S.

“No, there isn’t any ‘magic bullet’ solution offered in the film for schools like Douglass. We feel strongly that offering simple solutions to complex problems is inherently misleading in documentary filmmaking.”—Alan Raymond, “Hard Times at Douglass High: A No Child Left Behind Report Card”
