Steph...... This is one of the best documentaries that I have seen in a while. It's honest, depressing, uplifting, and realistic all at the same time. "Waiting for Superman" is a documentary about the sorry state of public schools and the people who are trying to change them for the better. This documentary follows 5 different kids from all over the country, who are different ages and come from different backgrounds who all go to public schools. For one reason or another the public schools aren't cutting it and their parents are deperate to find the best way to ensure their child gets a good education. This all comes to a head at the end when all these children are put into a lottery (there are limited openings) to get into a better charter school at the end of the movie. I was tring very hard not to cry during the results of the lottery. This is definitely a must see, especially if you have kids.
