यो पाठले सन् २०१० को वृत्तचित्र वेटिङ फर 'सुपरम्यान' को संक्षेप प्रस्तुत गरेको छ, जसले अमेरिकी सार्वजनिक शिक्षा प्रणालीका चुनौतीहरूलाई केन्द्रीत गरेको छ। संक्षेपमा यस वृत्तचित्रले परम्परागत सार्वजनिक विद्यालयहरूको आलोचनात्मक दृष्टिकोणलाई उजागर गरेको छ, विशेष गरी न्यून-आय भएका क्षेत्रहरूमा उनीहरूले सामना गरेका संघर्षहरूलाई। यसले वैकल्पिक उपायका रूपमा चार्टर विद्यालयहरूको सम्भावनालाई अन्वेषण गरेको छ। फिल्मले शिक्षक स्थायित्व र संघीय सुरक्षा जस्ता कारणहरूले प्रभावहीन शिक्षकहरूलाई हटाउन अवरोध पुर्याउँछ भनी तर्क गर्दछ, जसले सार्वजनिक विद्यालयहरूमा रहेका समस्याहरूमा थप योगदान पुर्याउँछ। यसले शिक्षा लटरी प्रणालीले उच्च गुणस्तरको शिक्षा खोजिरहेका परिवारहरूमा पार्ने भावनात्मक प्रभावलाई विशेष रूपमा देखाउँदै, व्यक्तिगत कथाहरू मार्फत राम्रो शैक्षिक अवसरहरूको खोजीमा रहेको निराशा र आशालाई चित्रित गर्दछ।
