Preview: American Teacher (2011)

Synopsis:

Exploring the struggles and animosity towards teachers, this documentary shows us how little respect we give those who are most responsible for our educational development.

• Poster: C

Review:

It's a fairly standard patchwork poster with images from the film mixed with various aspects of the film. The white backing furhter forces it into the background of other posters.

• Trailer: B

Review:

Matt Damon's voiceover work is ill-fitting to the trailer, but may work better in the film itself. Until he speaks, it's a fairly interesting trailer.

Oscar Prospects:

The politically-motivated segment of the Academy could find this one a rare chance to support education in the face of political pressure.

Release Date:
