The Hobart Shakespeareans - A Documentary by Mel Stuart (P.O.V.)





PBS's program P.O.V. (Point of View) is currently showing the fabulous documentary
The Hobart Shakespeareans. It follows one year in the life of a Los Angeles 4th grade class, taught by Master Teacher, and Shakespeare enthusiast, Rafe Esquith. The film showcases how one teacher's uncommon commitment and resourcefulness have opened up worlds of opportunity for his "disadvantaged" students — and perhaps have demonstrated a way forward for America's beleaguered public education system. Very highly recommended.
