Plot
In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption, and violence, a frustrated teacher tries an unorthodox new method to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential... and perhaps even their genius.
Sinekatalog’s take
An uplifting classroom drama about a teacher who refuses to give up on indifferent kids. It follows an inspirational formula but does so with energy and heart. A feel-good pick for those who love stories of education overcoming hardship.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
