FLUNKED, NARRATED BY JOE MANTEGNA, WINS BEST EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTARY AT THE BAYOU CITY INSPIRATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL


Flunked makes the grade in Texas!

Flunked, narrated by award-winning actor Joe Mantegna, has won the award for Best Educational Documentary at the Bayou City Inspirational Film Festival in Houston Texas. The BCIFF showcased 121 projects, including over 50 documentaries promoting exceptional educational, inspirational, and positive films from the United States and around the world.

Flunked takes a realistic view of our failing education system, offering a disturbing look at America’s shameful decline in comparison to other nations. However, instead of complaining and doing nothing, Flunked showcases schools and teachers who have figured out a way to make things better . . . right now.

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!
