Music is literally everywhere! Whether it be rocking out to your favorite song blasting through the car radio, soft melodies from the speakers lightly filling the business of the grocery store, or the latest tune in the back of your head while trying to recall how to decipher a logarithmic function on the Calculus exam, there is no escape.

To begin with, music is one of the most prominent elements seen throughout Guggenheim’s film. One of the most important scenes is when Michelle Rhee, Chancellor of Washington D.C. public schools, is attempting to pass a reform that may change public education forever.
