Don't miss this

The Cartel exposes the corruption and incompetence in our public school system--and makes a compelling argument for school choice. It opens in theaters across New Jersey on October 9--and will hopefully be in theaters across the country shortly after that. Find out about show times, see clips, and sign up to bring the film to a theater near you at www.TheCartelMovie.com.

(Full disclosure: this is a Moving Picture Institute film; I work at the Moving Picture Institute. I also have a credit in the film. That's not why I'm plugging it, though. I think it's a breakthrough movie, and that it can do wonders for urgently needed education reform.)

Film holds Ariz. school as model for reform
Sequel to "Two Million Minutes" shines light on BASIS Charter School and its extraordinary record of student achievement
By Maya T. Prabhu, Assistant Editor

"Two Million Minutes: The 21st Century Solution" showcases the achievements of an Arizona charter school.

Leaders in education gathered Sept. 17 to discuss the future of American education and screen a documentary highlighting an exemplary charter school in Arizona, which filmmaker Bob Compton said holds the solution to the country's education problems.


"We're beyond education reform. We need an education revolution," Compton said.
