In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect and corruption, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to unleash the curiosity and potential of his students...and maybe even their genius.

Sergio (Emmy Award nominee Eugenio Derbez, CODA) is a new teacher at an elementary school in Matamoros that churns out the worst grades in Mexico. For the kids, it’s a dead end. Sergio decides to turn the tables (literally) and set his pupils problem-solving challenges that stimulate and engage them. His new approach to learning doesn’t find favour with the authorities and there are setbacks as well as gratifying progress.

Based on an incredible true story and winner of the Festival Favourite award at the Sundance Film Festival, Radical straddles comedy and drama and is an uplifting story full of hope and heart.

“A feel-good true story with real potential to make a difference.” - Deadline
