Radical
A teacher uses unconventional methods to inspire his students in a warm-hearted true story that strikes a hopeful note without shying away from the societal struggle faced by many young people. Crime, violence and poverty mean a teacher (Eugenio Derbez) faces a tough challenge when he takes on a class full of under-performing 12-year-olds. But the inventive teacher refuses to be beaten. He ditches fact-based learning and adopts unorthodox methods to help unlock the students’ true potential and encourage them to think for themselves. Winner of the Festival Favourite award with audiences at Sundance, Christopher Zalla’s inspirational tale is a celebration of dedication and achievement in the face of adversity. Zalla handles this moving and uplifting Mexican true story with a light touch, plenty of humour and a lot of heart.
