Race to Nowhere Film Viewing

RACE TO NOWHERE - Film to air February 23, 2010 at 7pm, Oshman Family Jewish Center, 3921 Fabian Way, Palo Alto, CA 94303

RACE TO NOWHERE is a close-up look at the pressures on today's students, offering an intimate view of lives packed with activities, leaving little room for down-time or family time.

Parents today are expected to raise high-achieving children, who are good at everything: academics, sports, the arts, community-service. The film tackles the tragic side of our often achievement-obsessed culture, with interviews that explore the hidden world of over-burdened schedules, student suicide, academic cheating, young people who have checked out. RACE TO NOWHERE asks the question: Are the young people of today prepared to step fully and productively into their future? More information available at www.racetonowhere.com
