Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary students in Matamoros are some of the worst-performing students in Mexico. New teacher Sergio Juarez (Eugenio Derbez; Coda) uses unconventional teaching methods to try and turn things around, even though he doesn’t quite know what he’s doing.
Based on a true story, Radical tells the heartwarming story of a teacher who takes the time to trigger the student’s curiosity, ignite their passion for learning, and empower them to think for themselves and consider life beyond their circumstance.
Radical releases in select theaters on October 20.
