17:44Now PlayingA new documentary, "One Child Left Behind", examines the 2009 Atlanta Public Schools cheating scandal.
Educator Dana Evans and the film's director Jodi Gomes spoke with Roland Martin during Tuesday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about the documentary and the shocking cheating scandal it chronicles.
In 2009, 1,176 Atlanta teachers were investigated for test cheating; 35 were indicted, 12 went to trial and 11 were found guilty on RICO charges, which are typically reserved for the mafia and drug lords. The guilty, serving 30-year sentences, finally break their silence in this tell-all, controversial film that takes a closer look at the legislation called No Child Left Behind, the politics behind it, and a race and power struggle that spawned one of the most complex scandals in American history.
Directed by celebrated Producer and Showrunner Jodi Gomes, the harrowing documentary film, One Child Left Behind: The Untold Atlanta Cheating Scandal brings the accused, whistleblowers, cheaters, and innocent together on film for the first time to tell the real story. The US Education debate takes a front seat in this harrowing, investigative film that will leave many wondering how our education system could fail so many. One Child Left Behind documentary will hold its world premiere in 2019.
