Making Curriculum Pop

The first big sale at Sundance 2010 is Davis Guggenheim's (It Might Get Loud, An Inconvenient Truth) new documentary about the crisis in public education in the U.S.  Here's the Participant Productions website.

Given the Mad Max meets Kindergarten promo art (itself worthy of study)...

I will certainly be interested to see this film's POV

From the Take Part social action website linked to the film.

Waiting for Superman examines the crisis of public education in the United States through multiple interlocking stories—from a handful of students and their families whose futures hang in the balance, to the educators and reformers trying to find real and lasting solutions within a dysfunctional system. The Social Action campaign for Waiting for Superman will work with advocacy organizations, foundations and policy-leaders to offer initiatives for people to explore and be a part of long-term strategies that offer systemic changes. It will also engage audiences in immediate, tangible actions to help students in under-performing schools achieve better educational outcomes.
