FilmCrunch 047: Half Nelson Review

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Sony, Adaptation, Drama, Short FilmCrunch, Theatrical Reviews, Videocasts,

Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review Half Nelson in this episode of FilmCrunch:

Dan Dunne, an idealistic inner-city junior high school teacher, inspires his 13 and 14-year-olds to examine everything from civil rights to Civil War with a new enthusiasm.
