"CHILDREN IN AMERICA'S SCHOOLS" is a documentary about public education in America, based on Jonathan Kozol's best-selling book, Savage Inequalities. Produced by Jeffrey Hayden with his wife, Oscar-award winner Eva Marie Saint, the documentary takes viewers on a representative tour of the nation's schools, clearly showing how funding differences create schools ranging from aging, dilapidated buildings with leaky roofs, graffiti, cockroaches, outdate textbooks, and broken windows, to glistening, modern facilities equipped with high-tech media centers, computers for every child, science labs, sports complexes and performing arts centers. The reason for the difference is money.
