Dead Poets Society meets a spicy To Sir with Love.
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo at Dendy Coorparoo on Sunday, May 5 with a Watermelon Margarita in hand from the Happy Hour Cocktail Co. and a preview screening of the uplifting true story of one teacher’s unorthodox approach to educating youngsters that produced unexpected results.
Winner of the Sundance Film Favourite Award in 2023, RADICAL – a charming, bittersweet Mexican drama starring beloved Mexican actor Eugenio Derbez – is a powerful and heartwarming drama and an inspiring portrait of the importance of dedicated teachers.
Who will the sixth-grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary in Matamoros become? They are among the worst performing students in Mexico, the world they know is one of violence and hardship, and their classrooms are dominated by an atmosphere of overbearing discipline, not possibility. It might seem like a dead end… but it is also the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez (Derbez) to try something different.
There’s just one problem: Sergi has no idea what he’s doing.
