My Name Is Pedro

This award-winning film, from first time director Lillian LaSalle, explores the seemingly impossible journey of South Bronx Latino educator and maverick, Pedro Santana, a former "special ed" student, whose mantra is - every kid can learn despite their circumstances.

My take

An inspiring portrait of a South Bronx educator who defied the system's expectations to transform lives. This is the kind of documentary that restores your faith in human potential — intimate, hopeful, and deeply moving without being manipulative.
