The Mexican border town of Matamoros is plagued by neglect, corruption and violence. Sergio Juárez, a new teacher and already frustrated, tries a radical new method to break through his students' apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential... and maybe even their genius. Based on a true story.
Winner of the Audience Award at the Sundance Festival, Radical is based on true events. The film finely balances tragedy with playful optimism to present a moving tale of possibility and hope, and benefits from an amazing turn by lead actor Eugenio Derbez (Coda).
