      Audience Member Always question authority. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Inspirational true story Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Brilliant movie about a teacher in 1969, who takes a job on Yamacraw island, in the south states of USA. The teacher is Caucasian, as is the school board director. The principal of the school is an African-American older woman, who seems to hate and loathe the African-American children. She beats them,and calls them lazy,and is very opposed to this new teachers methods.. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member quite touching?! doubtless, it's a nice film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member An okay made-for-tv inspirational teacher movie. Nothing new there, would have benefited from more character development, but not a total loss of time. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
