Modern Languages Film Series, Film 1: The Class (Entre les murs) Second screening.

Entre les murs [The Class] (France, Laurent Cantet, 2008). A teacher in a tough multi-ethnic Parisian neighbourhood finds his idealism challenged and his methods up-ended.

Available in French with English subtitles.
