Reblogged from Diane Ravitch's blog:
Tonight the director/producer of "Brooklyn Castle"--Katie Dellamaggiore--will be a guest on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart on Comedy Central. One of the stars of the film, Pobo Efekoro will join her.
The documentary is about an amazing middle-school chess team in an inner-city school in Brooklyn that wins one title after another in national championships.
If "Waiting for Superman" and "Won't Back Down" left a bad taste, see this film.
Looks like a good film, finally one that does not bash teachers!
