In a small town in America, a controversial journalist (Norman Reedus from AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD) is forced to face his haunted past when he confronts a teenager driven to the brutal murder of 39 classmates. In attempting to determine why and how a massacre like this can happen in our society, the film explores issues of desensitization in America, youth violence and bullying, the impact the media has on our individual quest for fame, and ultimately our need for connection.

Country School
Country schools took rough-hewn pioneers and multilingual immigrants and transformed them into a literate and patriotic new nation.

No Small Matter
No Small Matter is the first feature documentary to explore the most overlooked, underestimated, and powerful force for good in America today: early childhood education. Through poignant stories and surprising humor, the film lays out the overwhelming evidence for the importance of the first five years, and reveals how our failure to act on that evidence has resulted in an everyday crisis for American families, and a slow-motion catastrophe for the country.
