In Support of the Project: Race To Nowhere

Race To Nowhere is a documentary created by Vicki Abeles that focuses on the American educational system and how it affects both schoolchildren and teachers as they strive for academic achievements that border the obsessive. Highlighting issues such as cheating, peer pressure, anxiety and erratic behavior patterns, Race To Nowhere aims to bring to light the real issues that the youth of America faces and how to best cope with these issues. The documentary has won critical acclaim at the Mill Valley Film Festival 2009, the California Film Festival 2010 and a number of international film festivals.
