Flunked Wins Best Documentary at the San Fernando Valley International Film Festival!


Los Angeles, CA—Flunked, narrated by award-winning actor Joe Mantegna, has won top award for Best Documentary at the San Fernando Valley International Film Festival in Los Angeles, CA. VIFFI showcased 66 projects, from over 500 submissions, featuring 7 documentaries to promote and encourage the endeavors of the international creative community in all media, by providing exposure to their productions and writings.

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!
