Oscar Nominees Maggie Gyllenhaal (2009, Supporting Actress, “Crazy Heart”) and Viola Davis (2011, Actress, “The Help”) lead a stellar cast in writer-director Daniel Barnz’s inspirational drama inspired by actual events. Frustrated by her dyslexic daughter’s struggles at a failing inner-city school, Jamie Fitzpatrick (Gyllenhaal) tries to enroll her somewhere else. When this fails, Jamie recruits a disillusioned but caring teacher (Davis) to try to fix the broken school. Soon, the women find themselves in a tense battle against apathy, hopelessness and powerful interests. Oscar Winner Holly Hunter (1993, Actress, “The Piano”) and Oscar Nominee Rosie Perez (1993 Supporting Actress, “Fearless”) also star in this inspiring story that shows how profoundly parents can affect their kid’s education.
