ONE CHILD LEFT BEHIND: THE UNTOLD ATLANTA CHEATING SCANDAL

  • The Museum of Fine Arts Boston 465 Huntington Avenue Boston, MA, 02115 United States (map)

Director Jodi Gomes (USA 2018 90min).

In 2009, 1,176 Atlanta teachers were investigated for test cheating; 35 were indicted, 12 went to trial and 11 were found guilty on RICO charges, which are typically reserved for the mafia and drug lords. The guilty, serving 30-year sentences, finally break their silence in this tell-all, controversial film that takes a closer look at the legislation called No Child Left Behind, the politics behind it, and a race and power struggle that spawned one of the most complex scandals in American history.
