Remember your favorite teacher? The one who believed in you and made you believe in yourself? So does every student who ever walked into Marva Collins' classroom. In an NAACP Image Award-winning performance, Cicely Tyson stars as Marva in this inspiring true story of a woman who made a difference in Chicago's blighted inner city. Morgan Freeman costars as Clarence Collins, who provides devoted support for his wife's dream: her own school, where high expectations create high achievers. To make that dream come true, Marva must fight a hostile bureaucracy, skeptical parents and -- especially -- children who have already given up on themselves.
