As an attorney, businesswoman, disrupter, and boundary-crosser, Vicki Abeles brings her creative leadership and unbridled passion to her documentary film projects. Abeles co-directed the 2009 award-winning documentary, “Race to Nowhere,” vividly portraying the pressure-cooker culture plaguing America’s schools. Using a cutting-edge distribution model, the film has screened in more than 8,000 community-sponsored screenings in more than 40 countries, reaching an audience of millions around the globe. 

In her follow-up film, “Beyond Measure,” Vicki tells a fresh story. A revolution is brewing across the country and the change agents bringing innovation into our schools are educators, parents, and students. Her films have ignited a grassroots movement to restore student well-being, transform education, and redefine success for the next generation.  Abeles authored the New York Times Bestseller Beyond Measure: Rescuing an Overscheduled, Overtested, Underestimated Generation. She is currently working on her next film, “The Gatekeeper”, a documentary about the math crisis in America— and the inspiring educators on a mission to solve it.

Vicki has spoken at schools, conferences, festivals and companies including Google, Pixar, George Lucas’s Edutopia and Time Warner. She and her work have been featured in national publications including The New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, and The Atlantic. She has appeared on The Today Show, CNN, NPR, NBC, Dr. Phil, Oprah Radio, and the Katie Couric Show.
