I am sure that many of us are hearing and watching about TIFF (The Toronto International Film Festival). We are watching and looking at the stars, the celebrities, the films, the documentaries and the parties. Well, one of the documentaries that has been shown at TIFF, “Waiting For Superman”, is one we should see when it becomes available. The film is about how the American public school education system is not providing quality education to many of students, especially those in the inner city. If you click on the link below, you will be able to read more about the film and the press conference after the screening of the film at TIFF in which Geoffrey Canada, founder of the Harlem Children’s Zone, an organization that boosted educational standards in a particularly disadvantaged New York neighbourhood, singer John Legend and Microsoft founder Bill Gates spoke about the film and the challenges that the American public school system faces. We would like to thank a friend of “The Dr.Vibe Show”, Nigel Barriffe, for bringing this article to our attention. This film should make us take action with our own education system. It opens in Toronto on October 1st. If you would like to find out more about the film, go to http://www.waitingforsuperman.com/. Hopefully, you will get a chance to view the film. Enjoy!!
