Approaching the Elephant

Streaming video - 2014

In the small town of Little Falls, New Jersey the 262nd free school opens its doors for the fall semester. The school is run by ambitious director Alex Khost, whose idealism of a new education system is tested by a defiant student, determined to upend the rules and possibly the school itself. APPROACHING THE ELEPHANT captures the volatilizing energy that builds through this turbulent first year. Nominated for a **Film Independent Spirit Award** Truer Than Fiction Award. *"It's a visceral, experiential, and absorbing viewing experience, not an educational issue doc." - Tomas Hachard, **NPR***
