In this highly acclaimed documentary, a mother turned filmmaker aims her camera at the high-stakes, high-pressure culture that has invaded schools and children’s lives. The film features heartbreaking stories of young people in all types of communities, educators who are burned out, and parents who are trying to do what’s best for their kids. Tickets purchased in advance are $10. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door for $15. To purchase tickets, visit www.rtnramseyhighschool.eventbrite.com.
