Ravaged by negligence, corruption and violence, neither the town nor the school offer many options for the lost youth. Frustrated by a general sense of apathy, Sergio turns to drastic methods to gain the students\u2019 interest and help them realise their potential. However, he soon finds out that he\u2019ll have to overcome obstacles he never saw coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the story of real-life teacher Sergio Ju\u00e1rez Correa, Radical is an uplifting and optimistic film about fighting the status quo. Featuring a wonderful central performance from Derbez, the film won the audience Festival Favourite Award at Sundance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Hardly radical filmmaking.
