“In this workplace comedy, a group of dedicated, passionate teachers—and a slightly deaf principal—are brought together at a Philadelphia public school, where they are motivated to help their children succeed in life despite the obstacles that stand in their way.”

“Although outnumbered and underpaid, these incredible public servants love what they do – even if they don’t appreciate the district’s less-than-stellar approach to teaching young people.”
The film is executive produced by Randall Einhorn, Justin Halpern, Patrick Schumacker and Quinta Brunson.
