How does Washington’s education system stack up against other states? Does money really matter? Is early learning the key to improving outcomes for students?
See and hear the faces of our public education system as they comment on these questions in the film Paramount Duty, which debuts today and airs through Nov. 22 on the Seattle Channel–Cable 21. The film by director Peter J. Vogt and LEV co-founder and president Nick Hanauer takes a look inside the schools of Washington State to document the challenges facing this generation of teachers, students and administrators.
The film interviews key leaders of a movement to rescue education from apathy and neglect. Tune in to hear Bill Gates Sr., University of Washington President Mark Emmert, and Governor Christine Gregoire address the pressing need for social and financial commitment to our future through educational reform.

I watched Paramount Duty before the winter break and was so impressed. I would love to share this with everyone I know — including 700+ members of the League of Women Voters and my kids’ PTA. Anyway to post a link to this documentary?
We’re trying to figure out a way to present it online. Unfortunately, Youtube only allows 10 minute segments. We’ll be sure to send out a message about another way to view the film. If you have any ideas, let me know!
The Seattle Channel posts links to its shows. Maybe they could post it on their website and then you could link directly to it?
