RACE TO NOWHERE takes a close look at the pressures facing today's students (as well as their teachers and parents) in our achievement-obsessed culture. The film explores the hidden world of over-burdened schedules, student suicide, academic cheating, and young people who have checked out. Students feel they are pushed to the brink, educators worry students aren't learning anything substantive, and college professors/employers are concerned that today’s youth lack the skills needed to succeed in the business world. Being screened nationwide, this film is raising awareness on this critical issue and spurring positive changes.
