Race to Nowhere
A film by Vikki Abeles
Presented in association with
Charlestown Nursery School
Featuring the heartbreaking stories of young people across the country who have been pushed to the brink,
educators who are burned out and worried that students aren't developing the skills they need, and parents
who are trying to do what’s best for their kids,
Race to Nowhere
points to the silent epidemic in our schools: cheating has become commonplace, students have become
disengaged, stress-related illness, depression and burnout are rampant, and young people arrive at college
and the workplace unprepared and uninspired.
Race to Nowhere is a call to mobilize families, educators, and policy
makers to challenge current assumptions on how to best prepare the youth of America to become healthy, bright,
contributing and leading citizens.
In a grassroots sensation already feeding a groundswell for change, hundreds of theaters, schools and
organizations nationwide are hosting community screenings during a six month campaign to screen the film
nationwide. Tens of thousands of people are coming together, using the film as the centerpiece for raising
awareness, radically changing the national dialogue on education and galvanizing change.
