Young Plato, trailer

Young Plato charts the dream of maverick, Elvisloving school headmaster Kevin McArevey who is determined to turn the fortunes of an innercity community plagued by urban decay, sectarian aggression, poverty and drugs. The allboys primary school in postconflict Belfasts Ardoyne, Northern Ireland, becomes a hot house for questioning violence, as the headmaster sends his young wards home each day armed with the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers. The boys challenge their parents and neighbors to forsake the prejudice that has kept this lowlevel civil war on the boil for decades. directed by Neasa Ní Chianáin, Declan McGrath, 2021
