主 旨 / Outline

Most Likely To Succeed is a thought-provoking documentary feature film that reveals the growing shortcomings of conventional education methods in today’s innovative world.
Premiered at Sundance in 2015, the film explores compelling new approaches that aim to revolutionize education as we know it, inspiring school communities to reimagine what students and teachers are capable of doing. The film was produced by Ted Dintersmith, a Partner Emeritus with Charles River Ventures, a leading early-stage venture capital firm, and author of the new book What School Could Be (2018 Princeton University Press). He was ranked by Business 2.0 as the top-performing venture capitalist in the U.S. for the years 1995-1999. In 2012, he was appointed by President Obama to represent the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly, where he focused on education.
