Parents take a greater role in their kids' education...
“We the Parents” spotlights the first group of parents who attempt to transform their failing school under California’s 2010 Parent Trigger Law, an edict that encourages residents of Compton to organize and change the status quo. It also depicts the controversy that ensues when the historical balance of power is disrupted. The film is about courage, empowerment, and the dreams of parents for their children and their futures.<br /><br />Rather than highlighting the crisis in our education system, “We the Parents” examines a potential solution by following everyday parents in their effort for their kids. The idea of giving power to parents is an untested one, and the film follows every step of the significant controversy, drama, and legal battles that ensue when parents attempt to exercise their rights.<br /><br />As news spreads about the events in Compton, a working class city known for gang violence, the film tracks the ripple effect of these parents’ efforts as the idea of a “parent trigger” spreads to other communities in California and across the country. Director James Takata chronicles the numerous complications involved in taking advantage of the new law, including informing parents of the law and getting them to sign a petition, bureaucratic obstacles, and complacency. A major failure of the documentary is the absence of teachers, the folks who spend their days with children. It would have been interesting to know how the teachers of Compton felt about what was happening in their school district.<br /><br />There are no bonus features on the widescreen, unrated DVD release.
