This inspiring documentary by the filmmakers of DOCVILLE laureate School Life focuses on an exceptional educational project. This time, they portray the dream of Elvis-crazed, outrageous school principal Kevin McArevey and his dedicated, visionary team. They are determined to reverse the fate of the residents of Ardoyne, a Belfast residential area plagued by drugs, crime and sectarian violence. Holy Cross Boys Primary School is a hotbed of prejudice and riots of violence, which the determined principal takes on with… philosophy! Armed with the wisdom of the old masters, he sends his students home every day to question the prejudices of their neighbors and their parents. A beautiful story of hope and forgiveness.
