Teach Us All is timed with the 60th anniversary of the Little Rock nine desegregating a school in Little Rock. For those not up on their history the film begins with this mini history lesson, explaining why this act of desegregation was so essential.
The film covers a pretty depressing subject, the fact that American schools have become as segregated as they were before the mass desegregation efforts of the civil rights movements in the 60s. In a series of talking heads the film interview activists, students and teachers. It's well constructed and easy to watch and covers a lot of ground.
The documentary is made pretty conventionally, a series of talking heads. Still, it's worth watching as an introduction to the education crisis.
