Movies like Front of the Class

“Front of the Class (2008) is a United States 2000s drama that frames a biographical underdog's struggle within classroom and family registers. It stages the protagonist's fight against stigma as intimate tableaux, using close framing, measured pacing and high-contrast-chiaroscuro accents to render social distance materially. The film argues that steady pedagogical courage reconfigures institutional prejudice and models a pragmatic form of empathetic pedagogy.”
