School Life
I never tire of learning about larger-than-life, generous educators, largely because I'm blessed to have known some truly impactful teachers when I was kid. It's just one of the reasons I'm eager to give this documentary from Neasa Ní Chianáin a viewing. Another is that the two teachers at the heart of this film, the polymath husband-and-wife team of John and Amanda Leyden, are just the sort of real-life bohemian teaching wizards who we need to continue to shine a spotlight on. From their primary boarding school some 50 miles from Dublin, they're helping kids become their best selves, one imagination at a time. — Bret
Opens in limited theatrical release on Friday, Sept. 8
