Credits

Reel Link Films would like to recognize the contribution of David Hershcopf (1956 - 2009).  David was instrumental as an advisor and supporter of Race to Nowhere.  He was a father, a friend, a dedicated teacher, and a tireless advocate for young people. This film was close to his heart and we salute his memory.
