A critique on free-market education reforms, undermining teacher unions, and promoting charter schools as a panacea. Shows public school parents' and educators' experiences, offering a holistic perspective on education reform.

A group of New York City public school teachers and parents wrote and produced this documentary in response to Davis Guggenheim's highly misleading film, 'Waiting for Superman.' 'The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman' provides a critique of an increasingly free-market driven education system, the undermining of teacher unions and overall faith in the idea that charter schools are just what the country needs. The film highlights the real life experiences of public school parents and educators and takes a holistic look at education reform.—Anonymous
