Won’t Back Down
In 2010, a law was passed in California and other states around the country that allowed parents to force administrative overhaul for underperforming schools. That was the premise of Won’t Back Down starring Viola Davis and Maggie Gyllenhaal who played two mothers willing to go up against the school and the city all for the sake of their children’s best interests. Davis, who was nominated for an Oscar for The Help, received an NAACP Image Award for her role in Won’t Back Down.
