Young Plato (2022): Peace Walls [EXCLUSIVE CLIP]

Did you know Northern Ireland still has peace walls up to separate Catholic neighborhoods from Protestant ones?
An inspiring documentary from the filmmakers of School Life, Young Plato charts the dream of Elvis-loving school headmaster Kevin McArevey - a maverick who is determined to change the fortunes of an inner-city community plagued by urban decay, sectarian aggression, poverty, and drugs. The all-boys primary school in post-conflict Belfast, Northern Ireland, becomes a hothouse 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 low-level civil war on the boil for decades. Young Plato hums with the confidence of youth, a tribute to the power of the possible.
Young Plato will have a theatrical release in New York's Angelika Film Center on September 23, with a regional expansion to follow on September 30 in Washington DC, Dallas, San Diego, Sacramento, Plano, Fairfax, and more cities-at their respective Angelika theaters.
