In the highly competitive world of Bedouin camel racing, the younger brother of a jockey killed under mysterious circumstances sets out to restore his family honor in a quest suffused with magical realism.
A 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). The Teacher is the directorial feature-film debut of Farah Nabulsi, a Palestinian-British filmmaker born, raised, and educated in the UK, whose debut short film, The Present, won a BAFTA Award and was nominated for an Oscar.
Featuring a prerecorded special guest introduction by director Farah Nabulsi.
