Based on the true story of an inspiring educator who refused to let his students be defined by their circumstances.

Winner of the Sundance Film Favourite Award, Radical tells a deeply moving true story that highlights a widespread challenge: potential is everywhere, but opportunity is not. It also highlights what may be an answer to these challenges, kids exploring their inherent resources: their curiosities and communities.

Set in Matamoros, a Mexican city along the U.S. border, the systemic challenges shown in the film mirror the challenges many youths face across the world, where students of colour face compounded systemic and historic inequities like fewer community and school resources, graduation rates below the national average, and are often underrepresented in advanced mathematics and science classes.
