This SATURDAY…. Waiting for ‘Superman’

Posted: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: 2k11 | Tags: , , , , , , | Comments Off on This SATURDAY…. Waiting for ‘Superman’


“WAITING FOR “SUPERMAN” is a film that we made for and about kids who are struggling to get a great education and their parents who are doing everything they can to ensure that they get it. As you know, this is a dauntingly complex problem. There are many factors that led to the current state of our nation’s education system and there are many ways to put it back on the path to success. Reform will look different in each community, and it will take a variety of actions at all levels of society to make lasting change.”

Davis Guggenheim, Director and Lesley Chilcott, Producer
