Director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) is on a lifelong crusade: to make sense of what he calls America’s “crappy” public education system. “Our school system is broken for too many kids,” he said during a recent visit to Seattle. “It’s morally unacceptable and 
economically unsustainable. Our economy’s going to fail because of it.”

He returns to the soap box with documentary Waiting for “Superman”, out in theaters today. But he’s been making his case over the last few weeks (he caught Oprah’s ear) with the help of a high-profiled local: Mr Microsoft Bill Gates. Read on here.

Waiting for ‘Superman’ is in theaters nationwide on Oct 1. It’s showing at AMC Pacific Place and Landmark Neptune Theatre.
