The Good Teacher
UK Premiere
A teacher fights a broken system to clear his name
A young teacher, is wrongfully accused of sexual misconduct by a teenage girl from his class. As he faces mounting pressure from the girl’s older brother and her classmates, the situation spirals out of control: allegations spread, the entire school is thrown into turmoil, and the teacher has to fight to clear his name.
Based on a true story, this tense, timely and thought-provoking classroom thriller deftly examines how rumours and misunderstandings can turn into witch hunts. Poignantly depicting the challenges within the French educational system, it effectively draws the audience into the complex and often disheartening realities faced by teachers and students alike.
