Our School is part of Reel Education, a
collective of nine documentary film projects that provide a nuanced and compelling
portrait of education. Using powerful personal stories, and highlighting themes that range
from closing achievement gaps to the protection of funding for after-school
programs, each of these films
has the power to influence a small corner of the national conversation on
education and to engage people in action. But pooled together and positioned
into the work of organizations and other leaders who share their collective
vision, the impact of our media can be amplified.
We are collaborating with Working Films to identify communities
across the country that could benefit from using the Reel Education films in
their advocacy, training, or organizing efforts. We want to know which of these
project are most closely aligned with the issues at play in your community and
how film screenings could advance your work. So please take a few moments to check out the trailers for
all of the amazing film projects and then answer this short survey.
We need your input! Have more questions about Reel Education? Feel free to
contact Anna Lee at Working Films.
She’s heading up the project.
