We Are the People We've Been Waiting For is a 2009 documentary film directed by Daryl Goodrich and produced by Caroline Rowland. It explores the education system in the UK and asks whether the current system provides young people with the opportunity to develop their talents.
We Are the People We've Been Waiting For was inspired and guided by producer Lord Puttnam, and focuses on the educational experiences of five young people in Swindon, England.[1] The film examines three pillars on which the current education system globally is built: curriculum, testing, and teaching. It observed how millions of young people are essentially being failed by the system and explores alternative ways of tapping into the talent that exist in the rising generation.[2]
