This award-winning film, from first time director, Lillian LaSalle, explores the seemingly impossible journey of South Bronx maverick educator, Pedro Santana, a former "special ed" student whose mantra is -"every child can learn" despite their circumstances. A New York Times profile of Santans's "Out Of The Box" teaching techniques, thrusts him into the spotlight, which creates great opportunities for change but also has its downside - public school politics which, despite the cries of students and parents alike, threaten to take him down. A documentary with unpredictable twists and turns, it harnesses a compelling message of optimism, hope and tragedy.
