Radical12A
In a neglected Mexican border town, where corruption and hardship are the norm, the sixth-grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary rank among the worst in the country. Amidst this backdrop of violence and despair, a determined teacher introduces a radical new approach to ignite the curiosity and unlock the potential of his students. Based on an inspiring true story, this heartwarming drama won the Festival Favourite Award at the Sundance Film Festival.
Reviews
‘Mexican inspirational teacher drama rises above genre cliches. Based on true events, this tale of a deprived school being turned on its head by the arrival of Mr Juárez feels fresh, largely thanks to its superb young cast’
★★★★
Wendy Ide, The Observer
‘Comes to a stirring close that balances optimism with a side of heartbreak for those kids who lack access to the right resources.’
Tomris Laffly, Variety

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
