Accelerating America

"Accelerating America" is a high-stakes documentary that takes you inside a revolutionary Rhode Island school, where fearless principal Robert DeBlois empowers inner-city youths at risk of dropping out by giving them a second chance through accelerated studies. As we witness the unflinching spirit of this quadriplegic leader, meet three students - America, Jason, and Yazmine - whose make-or-break year will push them to confront conviction, pride, and humor in order to survive.
