| Join us for a special community screening of this new documentary film chronicling a single day in an urban public school district. On May 8, 2012, 50 directors and their small camera crews followed 50 individuals who attend, support and work
in the Pasadena Unified School District, a racially and economically diverse district with 28 public school campuses. Administrators, teachers, students, support staff and volunteers each reveal their unique contributions in making a public school district function in this authentic window into the world of public education.
| "GO PUBLIC celebrates the small and large miracles that happen in Pasadena classrooms every day. We see overcrowded classrooms, but we also see an elementary teacher who greets each student with a special word of support as he or she arrives in her classroom. As you watch the students, teachers, parents, and others in the film, you will no doubt think about your own experiences with and stereotypes about public schools. Whether or not you or your children went (or go) to public school, we all have a stake in the quality of our public schools." -- Peter Dreier, Washington Post [ Full Review HERE ]ONLINE
