Welland Community Cinema – Radical

Radical is a 2023 Mexican drama directed by Christopher Zalla, inspired by Joshua Davis’s 2013 Wired article, “A Radical Way of Unleashing a Generation of Geniuses.” The film stars Eugenio Derbez as Sergio Juárez Correa, a teacher in Matamoros, Mexico, who adopts unconventional teaching methods to inspire his underprivileged sixth-grade students. Set in a community plagued by violence and neglect, Sergio’s innovative approach fosters curiosity and unlocks the students’ potential, leading to remarkable academic achievements. Radical premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, winning the Festival Favourite Award, and has been praised for its heartfelt storytelling and compelling performances.
