Killing Ed is a 94 minutes feature film by award-winning director Mark S, Hall that exposes a shocking truth: that the largest network of taxpayer-funded charter schools in the U.S hide a worst-case-scenario….. that they are operated with questionable academic, labor, and H1-B visa standards by member of the “Gulen Movement” – a rapidly expanding, global Islamic group whose leader, Fethullah Gulen, lives in self-imposed exile in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania USA. Gulen has been accused of leading a violent coup in July, 2016 to overthrow the Turkish government. Killing ED provides its audiences with a shocking first-hand look inside the Gulen Movement and the schools- with never before seen interviews and hidden camera footage –while revealing the corruption of those attempting to privatize public schools in the USA.
