Everybody has a dream. After all, the celebs we report on all followed theirs and ended up in Hollywood right? So where do dreams start? Most of us would agree they start in school and that’s exactly what film makers Kimberly Goodman and Henri Hebert sought out to portray in their documentary film, “Dream With Me.”

Along their journey, which consisted of spending one year experiencing America’s public school system, these two women had an eye opening experience. Their website points out that “as a nation, we spend more money per student than any other country on the planet.  But academically, America is consistently among the lowest-performing countries in the industrial world.   What’s wrong with our education system?  Is it the students?  Teachers?  Parents?  Administrators? Or is it the system itself?”

These were the questions Kimberly and Henri sought to answer. The duo filmed for an entire school year in 3 public schools (elementary, middle, and high school) with unlimited access and the full cooperation of the schools. They existed as students themselves, learning just how deep the problems run in public schools and how our youth are affected. Combining hours of footage and observation, Henri and Kimberly both “feel we have something unique and special” in this documentary. And Hollywood agrees. Dream With Me was recently featured on Reelz TV “Hollywood Dailies” and received acclaim.
