Winner of the Sundance Film Favourite Award, Radical is based on the true story of an inspiring educator who refused to let his students be defined by their circumstances. In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption, and violence, a frustrated teacher (Eugenio Derbez) tries a radical new approach to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential… and maybe even their genius.
