Cheating the Class examines the ingenuity of the young minds who turn their intelligence to cheating to win. Scientists say that we’re born to cheat and they’ve recently shown that dishonesty is contagious. Teachers argue that when it comes to honesty, integrity and equality, our universities and colleges are our culture’s ‘canary in the coal mine’ for the rest of society.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Andy Blicq, Faking the Grade takes a hard look at this phenomenon and asking the crucial question: who wants to go to a dentist, doctor or to drive over a bridge designed by someone who rented someone else’s brain to get their degree?
“Brilliant...director Blicq hits a home run with this one...I couldn’t stop watching.” - James Bawden, TV critic
