Looks like a very interesting documentary. Every time I see a kid with a lemonade stand I am reminded of the entrepreneurial spirit that is hidden inside all of us.

None showing in San Francisco? I think what contributes to the high drop out rate is simply because today, both parents go to work. When I was working (don’t anymore), my family schedule was so hectic. There was really little time to squeeze in to look over my kids’ homeworks or even tutored them. It was really hard and I hated it. I think it makes a world of a difference when one parent is not working or at least work just part time and dedicate more time with the kids.

It was a small budget film so I think that is why it was only released in the highly populated cities in the US.
It’s not at all a new thing to be not released in India. Do somebody have a torrent file from where I/We can download this?
