Backpack Full of Cash

May 27, 2016 Written by Elizabeth Anthony

Film ReelAt the Network for Public Education conference in April, we were lucky enough to meet Sarah Mondale and Vera Aronow, makers of the film Backpack Full of Cash. Narrated by Matt Damon, this documentary explores the privatization of America’s public schools and the impact that has on students.

You can see our interview with them below and donate to finishing the film here.
