A documentary focusing on the state of education in New Jersey is making its debut.
Bob Bowden is the director of "The Cartel." Bowdon quit his job as a reporter with Bloomberg Television to make the film. He spent two years talking to school administrators, teachers, parents, students and education advocates about New Jersey schools. In one scene, he interviews a Camden teen who says by high school he still did not know the alphabet or basic multiplication.
