KILLING ED
94 min (USA, 2016)

2016 Arpa IFF BEST DOCUMENTARY FILM NOMINEE

Director/Producer: Mark S Hall
With Interviews of: Dr. Diane Ravitch, Sharon Higgins, Vincent Tovar

KILLING ED is a 94 minute feature film by award-winning director, Mark S. Hall, that exposes a shocking truth: that the largest network of taxpayer-funded charter schools in the U.S. hide a worst-case-scenario— that they are operated with questionable academic, labor, and H1-B visa standards by members of the “Gülen Movement” – a rapidly expanding, global Islamic group whose leader, Fethullah Gülen, lives in self-imposed exile in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania USA. Gülen has been accused of leading a violent coup in July, 2016 to overthrow the Turkish government. KILLING ED provides its audiences with a shocking, first-hand look inside the Gülen Movement and its schools – with never before seen interviews and hidden camera footage – while revealing the corruption of those attempting to privatize public schools in the USA.”
