Film Screening: Backpack Full of Cash


Greenland Hills United Methodist Church

Hosted by the Coalition for Equity in Public Education (CEPE), Greenland Hills United Methodist Church, NAACP Dallas, the Texas State Teachers Association/NEA Dallas, and River Ranch Educational Charities, please join us for a screening of "Backpack Full of Cash" followed by a Q and A with local education leaders.

Narrated by Matt Damon, this feature-length documentary explores the growing privatization of public schools and the resulting impact on America’s most vulnerable children. Filmed in Philadelphia, New Orleans, Nashville and other cities, it takes viewers through the tumultuous 2013-14 school year, exposing the world of education “reform” where public education – starved of resources- hangs in the balance.
