The Hobart Shakespeareans (2005 TV Movie)
10/10
every teacher should see this film.

Warning: Spoilers
Wow! I was assigned to view this documentary as part of a class in my teacher certification course of studies. This teacher has his 5th grade students reading books that I didn't get to until I was one to five years older. By the way, these students are the children of immigrants, for whom English is their SECOND language.

Oh and he has them studying AND performing Shakespeare! These students stay after school and study Shakespeare - and as Sir Ian McKellen said -- the children understand what every word means, this is something that you can't say about adult actors working with the same material.

Inspirational!

I hope I can accomplish even one tenth of what Rafe has done, once I get into the classroom.
