I am calling on our nation's Governors and state education chiefs to develop standards and assessments that don't simply measure whether students can fill in a bubble on a test, but whether they possess 21st century skills like problem-solving & critical thinking, entrepreneurship and creativity.

“Obama should arrange for this movie to be shown in every classroom in America. It is the most inspirational, heartwarming film you will ever see. …”-Tom Friedman, The New York Times. Click here for full article.

“Forget the BLIND SIDE. See TEN9EIGHT. Blogging for the Huffington Post, Seth Bauer says that a documentary about “lost inner-city kids” is “a feel-much-better story,” that he thinks could have a greater impact on improving African American self-actualizing than Bullock’s film [The Blind Side]. That’s because Ten9Eight tracks the inner-city high-school participants of a national competition set up by the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship. As he puts it: “The movie calls for entrepreneurship on the part of all of us, because the economics of the film industry means that millions of high school kids–and their parents–whose personal prospects could be radically changed simply by viewing the film may never get to see it. Take a look for yourself, and, if you see a way to get Ten9Eight shown in the communities where it may make the most difference, think like the students in the movie: don’t let the opportunity pass.” –Carl Franzen, The Atlantic.

“As the child of drug addicts, Rodney Walker’s upbringing in a series of Chicago foster homes was not auspicious. Yet now, aged 20, he has been one of the top finalists in a business plan competition, has won a full scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, and is the narrator of Ten9Eight – Shoot for the Moon, a documentary film that is about to go on release in a mainstream US cinema chain.” –Pamela Ryckman, The Financial Times.

These are the kids that normally DON’T have documentaries done about them… I thought about when the last time was I’d seen a documentary that flowed like this, and I was lead back to the same director — Mary Mazzio.”- Daryle Lockhart, The Black Box Office.
