Radical | 2023 | Mexico | 127 min | Rated M

Come and join us for our next film event: Radical at Alstonville Public School. Plus beautiful live music from local band Verandah Fridays.

Duck Creek Film Society proudly presents Radical on November 9, a deeply moving film from Mexico. The movie won the Film Favourite Award at Sundance 2023. Radical is based on the true story of an inspiring educator who refused to let his students be defined by their circumstances. In a Mexican border town plagued by corruption and violence, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new approach to teaching. He is determined to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity and potential… and maybe even their genius.

Radical will screen on Saturday 9 November 2024 at Alstonville Public (Primary School) hall.

6pm: Join us in the courtyard for live music and food (fundraiser for Alstonville PS P&C) before the film. Verandah Fridays are local musicians Mim O'Grady (guitar, vocals) and Karen Hanna (keyboard, vocals) who weave exquisite harmonies to create musical magic. Hot and cold beverages, and delicious homemade finger foods are available to purchase between 6pm and 7.15pm, and during intermission. Sorry no BYO alcohol.
