FREE PREVIEW OF FLUNKED THE MOVIE WITH KQNT 590 IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON

The exciting new education reform documentary Flunked, narrated by award-winning actor Joe Mantegna, is back in Washington! This film will be presented in partnership with 590 KQNT radio on Wednesday, July 23rd, 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at:

The Magic Lantern Theatre
25 W. Main Avenue
Spokane, WA 99201

The movie will be followed by a short Q&A segment with members of the film’s cast and crew.

For years we’ve read the stories: Results of national and international educational aptitude tests show that the average American student is unable to compete academically. In short, public education is failing.

Flunked highlights the common threads of successful education: strong leadership, high standards, excellent teachers, and solid curricula. By focusing on schools that are successfully applying these principles, Flunked sends a message loud and clear: Parents, students, principals, and teachers do not have to settle for mediocrity in their own schools!

Flunked follows the stories of ten educational All-Stars—men and women from all walks of life who are making a difference to students across America. These individuals have defied the odds, pressed the system, and succeeded in seemingly impossible situations. Through it all, they have proven that solutions in education are available here and now, if only we will follow their examples.

Flunked Executive Producer Steven Maggi will be in attendance along with All-Star Angie Dorman, a teacher at Warden High School.
