Year: 2008

Plot: A high-school teacher assigned the thankless task of teaching autocracy as part of the school's project week decides to spice up his lessons by conducting a decidedly unorthodox experiment in this adaptation of the popular novel by Todd Strasser. Though his students are initially apathetic about teh prospect of being schooled in the evils of fascism yet again, the lesson soon takes an unexpected turn of events that no one in the classroom could have seen coming. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Body: A film based on the true story of the Palo Alto High School teacher who used an alternative method to teach his students about autocracy. The week long experiment got so out of control and spread so far that extreme measures had to be taken to return things to normal. The German film interpretation of this story proved particularly impactful as the director and the students discussed how German youth have become desensitized to the events of WWII with the mandatory education on the impacts and effects of the Third Reich. This film was beautifully filmed and extremely well acted. The real-life teacher took the stage for questions and two of the students from the class in the late 60s were in the audience. I look forward to this one getting picked up and distributed.
