2 Million Minutes


http://www.2mminutes.com/



I expected this documentary to be filled with cheap shots at our superficial culture, but it's much richer than that. It follows 6 high achieving students from 3 very different cultures...and in the end doesn't offer any simple solutions. Without being moralistic it succeeds in being very challenging. Canadian high schools students will have a lot to say after spending an hour with theses students. The video can be purchased with public performance rights for only $100...and those are just US dollars.
