Radical
12A
In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption and violence, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to unleash the curiosity of his students... and maybe even their genius.
Biographical • Inspiring • Heartfelt
Who will the sixth grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary in Matamoros become? They are among the worst performing students in Mexico, the world they know is one of violence and hardship, and their classrooms are dominated by an atmosphere of overbearing discipline, not possibility. It might seem like a dead end... but it is also the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez to try something different.
Mexican superstar Eugenio Derbez delivers an outstanding performance in this incredible true story – winner of the "Festival Favourite" award at Sundance Film Festival.
