FREE SCREENING FRIDAY OCT. 14: THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH BEHIND WAITING FOR SUPERMAN

Whether you saw or did not see our movie come on by Friday eve for a screening and panel discussion including Brian Jones and Jamie Fidler who both teach at PS 261 in Brooklyn. Brian is one of the narrators of our film and Jamie is featured in the new movie American Teacher* (and steals the movie).

We also just got in a shipment of 25 posters like the one below that we will be offering for sale.

Here is what we posted in the gemnyc.org web site:

It has been ONE YEAR since the premiere of Davis Guggenheim’s documentary, WAITING FOR SUPERMAN was released in NYC.

A slick, emotionally-charged advertisement for charter schools, SUPERMAN was promoted relentlessly by the corporate media… and flopped at the box-office.

But did you know that a group of NYC public school teachers and parents produced their OWN film in response?

This new documentary, created with NO BUDGET AT ALL, tells another side to the story — the side of public school parents, teachers and students who are fighting for REAL reform.

THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH BEHIND WAITING FOR SUPERMAN was released last spring and has already been screened in all 50 United States and on 6 continents — without a SINGLE MENTION in the mainstream media!

Please join us for a SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY SCREENING IN NYC:

ON Friday, October 14th
AT 6 pm
The Community Church of New York
40 East 35th Street
New York, NY 10016
