Beyond the Blackboard

In the late '80s, Stacey Bess (Emily VanCamp) found the idealism and enthusiasm with which she pursued her teaching degree sorely tested when the only assignment she could land was in a ramshackle Salt Lake City homeless shelter. She determined that those kids deserved no less than her best-and the difference she made in their lives is movingly drawn in this adaptation of Bess' memoir "Nobody Don't Love Nobody"; Steve Talley, Treat Williams, Timothy Busfield, Kiersten Warren also star. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
