Since its premier at the Mill Valley Film festival, the film has screened to thousands of parents, educators and concerned citizens. The film paints a picture that demands each of us to pay attention to what is going on for young people today as they navigate a complex, pressure-cooker culture and education system. Vicki is currently focused on the distribution of RACE TO NOWHERE while also in the early stages of development on her next documentary and serving as an advisor on several other films. Previously, Vicki worked as a corporate attorney on Wall Street and on the business side at Goldman Sachs. Clients represented a wide range of industries including the media business. Vicki lives in the Bay area with her husband and three children and is a passionate advocate for women and children.
