Description
Short black and white film about the effects of
a changing economy and industrialization. The film explores
education - particularly in rural areas - career building and
training with more technical demands, and the various challenges and
opportunities that come with industry growth and automation in North
Carolina. The film features a discussion between community members
about consolidating the school systems (Better Schools Committee) to
adapt to these industrial and economic changes as well as
presentations by educators about the educational challenges and
opportunities in North Carolina and debates about the value and role
of education in children's lives.
