Breaking the Grade

Year: 2017
Country: United States
Run Time: 21 minutes

Breaking the Grade is a documentary following a group of students in Columbus, Ohio who are given a second chance. Though the system was ready to give up on them, a determined educator willing to try a bold new program wasn’t. What followed was proof past events can’t define the future.
