The film "Race to Nowhere" is a call to action for 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. A concerned mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded our schools and our children's lives. Mindy Todd hosts this interview in The Point studio, with film producer and co-director Vicki Abeles, and Mary Gans, principal at the Lawrence School, Falmouth Public Schools. The film will be screened at the Falmouth Public Libraryon Saturday March 28 at 2pm and again on Tuesday March 31 at 6:30pm, presented by the Woods Hole Child Center (click link for tickets).
