No Child...

Ángel Morales.

is a distillation of Nilaja Sun’s nine years’ experience as a
teaching artist in the New York public schools. It follows her as
she attempts to mount a production of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s play
Our Country’s Good
at a
Bronx high school. During the show, we meet her students and fellow
teachers, administrators, parents, a janitor, and even the security
guard who mans the metal detector at the school gates. A touching
exploration of the public school system seen through the eyes of a
young and idealistic teaching artist.
