How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A feel-good underdog story about an unlikely teacher who discovers purpose by connecting with disaffected Army recruits through art and literature. It's warm-hearted without being saccharine, grounded in real disappointment but buoyed by genuine human connection.
