We're delighted to once again be screening films as part of the Purbeck Film Festival.
A teacher in a Mexican border town full of neglect, corruption, and violence, tries a radical new method to unlock their students’ curiosity, potential - and maybe even their genius. Following in the paths of CODA, Dead Poets Society and Dangerous Minds, this true story explores the importance of a teacher and how much impact a caring soul can have on the future of this world. The film’s ensemble of young actors is simply outstanding with Jennifer Trejo leading the way as Paloma, a young girl whose potential is slowly revealed yet whose familial circumstances may prove insurmountable. One leaves the film with a sense of protectiveness and pride thinking about Sergio and his students.
Director: Christopher Zalla Starring: Eugenio Derbez, Daniel Haddad, Jennifer Trejo.
