In the U.S. less than 50% of students finish college, making America’s college completion rates among the worst in the world. This has resulted in more than 35 million Americans being saddled with debt and behind their peers in learning power. Featuring interviews with LeBron James, Howard Schultz, and our nation's leading voices in education, this penetrating and personal new film investigates America’s college dropout crisis through the lives of five diverse students as they fight for a second chance at opportunity, and highlights the innovators reimagining higher education for the 21st century.

Join us for a Q+A immediately following the film screening.
