Review of The New Public (2013) by Paul Kevin G — 04 Feb 2015

As one of the main subjects in this film, I stand by its integrity. The New Public faithfully depicts my own struggles and achievements as well as those of my students, parents, and the school community as a whole.

To be sure, it has been difficult to watch myself flounder in front of a national audience but if my personal drama is edifying I'm okay with it. I've used this film in my high school classroom and I've attended numerous screenings for educators and the public alike and I've witnessed howl this film raises crucial issues for our society as a whole.

This is not just a sociological film, but a beautiful piece of filmmaking intimate, entertaining, and at times genuinely funny.
