Jim B Offers an in depth look into the life of Phil Brody who spent 40 years teaching special needs children in the LA County school district. Beau did an admirable job portraying Phil in this semi biographical look at how Phil incorporated sports, special olympics and signing to improve the health of his special needs students. Thanks Phil for a life worth living. May you rest in peace. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
