How It Feels

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

A sharp-edged satire that finds humor in the dysfunction of an underfunded inner-city school while wrestling with a genuine moral crisis: a teacher forced to choose between protecting a broken system and doing what's right.
