Description:
In this gripping drama set against the backdrop of an underfunded inner-city school, we follow the journey of Alex Jurel, a dedicated yet increasingly conflicted teacher. His path crosses with that of an old student, now an ambitious attorney representing a family who allege that their son was failed by the system; having graduated from the same institution unable to read or write. As Jurel navigates the daily chaos of his challenging profession, he finds himself at a crucial moral crossroads: should he protect the school and potentially sacrifice his own integrity by lying at his deposition? Or will he choose to reveal the truth, even if it means jeopardizing his entire career? The film explores themes of loyalty, personal conviction, and the power dynamics in an education system that often struggles to provide equal opportunities for all.
