Go Public


50 directors and their small camera crews followed 50 different people during one day in one school district to document the public school experience. They put us on the bus with the kids or in the car with the parent, in the classroom, the gym, the lab, the hall, the office. No narrator intones the message; we just see for ourselves through the camera what-all goes on in the world of public education—a world quite like the Clarke County School District. The result is fascinating, and the proceeds from these showings go to help a number of local groups that supplement public education here: Athens Land Trust, Athens Peer Court, Athens Tutorial Program, AthFest Educates, Awesome Clubhouse @ La Escuelita, Books For Keeps, Boys and Girls Club, Chess and Community, Children First, Clarke County Mentor Program, Coile Serves, Experience UGA, Family Connection/Communities in Schools, Food2Kids, The Foundation For Excellence, Young Designers Program and Strong, Beautiful and Godly Girls.
