Young Plato

Mr. McArevey is a visionary headmaster at a Catholic primary school in one of Belfast, Northern Ireland's toughest neighborhoods. He loves Elvis and teaches his students to connect with their feelings, while taking on the legacies of The Troubles. In this exceptional portrait of a community still healing from trauma, we follow this educator extraordinaire as he uses Ancient Greek wisdom as an antidote for pessimism, violence, and historical despair.
