(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- The public is invited to a free film screening of the award-winning documentary, Race to Nowhere, Wednesday, March 1, from 6:00pm-9:00 p.m., at Raritan Valley Community College. The provocative documentary highlights the pressures of American school children to succeed.
The event, which is being presented by the College’s Humanities, Social Science and Education Department in partnership with The National Association of Community College Teacher Education Programs, the RVCC Foundation and the RVCC Education Club, will be held in the Conference Center at the College’s Branchburg campus.
The evening will include a discussion about the film topic, as well as special recognition of RVCC education alumni who now teach in local school districts.
Slate.com called the film, “The Battle Hymn of the Anti-Tiger Mother... the stealth juggernaut... a powerful alarming documentary that’s riling up parents across the country.”
The film hit a cultural nerve, inspiring diverse audiences at schools, universities, corporations, medical centers, religious institutions and non-profits to discuss the most pressing issues of our times: education, health, parenting, the 24/7, nonstop culture, the global economy, working parents, wellness, technology, innovation, and childhood.
