In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption, and violence, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential… and maybe even their genius. Based on a true story.

After the screening, celebrate the Day of the Dead with an array of delicacies and libations accompanied by lively sounds from DJ Gio. Enjoy complimentary beer by La Tropical, water by Liquid Death, wine, and bites from Divieto Ristorante, Pasión Miami, Santo Dulce, and Azucar Ice Cream in the Koubek Mansion and Garden.
