The complete program of the 2nd Sac Mini Fall French Film Fest can be found here!

At the Leon Blum High School, history teacher Anne Gueguen (the always perfect Ariane Ascaride, Army of Crime - SFFF 2010, Marius and Jeannette - SFFF 2011, The Snows of Kilimanjaro - SFFF 2012) has to face her worst nightmare, a multicultural classroom full of struggling and tough inner-city kids – the kind other teachers have given up on. This racially and religiously diverse group seems to only agree on one thing: history is a boring subject with no relevance in their everyday lives. But, Anne has a quality that these students don’t encounter often – she actually cares about them, and she has an idea that she hopes will inspire them.  Over the objections of the head of the school, she challenges the class to enter a national history contest with a project on Children and Teenage victims of the Nazi Regime. It’s a long shot at best, because the contest is usually won by students from better schools, and at first the students are reluctant. but working together will give them the confidence to achieve more than they ever thought possible... A feel-good film for all audiences!

Based on a true story, this inspirational drama was co-written by twenty-one year old Ahmed Dramé, who was part of the original class, and plays Malik in this feel-good film.
