Debut feature from Academy Award®-nominated and BAFTA® award-winning filmmaker Farah Nabulsi.
Set in the West Bank, Palestinian school teacher (Saleh Bakri) struggles to reconcile his risky commitment to political resistance with his emotional support for one of his students (Muhammad Abed El Rahman) and the chance of a new relationship with a volunteer worker (Imogen Poots).
Gripping and full of tension,The Teacher demonstrates the precarious everyday of occupation, while posing some all-important questions the wider world has seemingly avoided answering for too long.
