“The Last Class” was Mountain Shadow’s July selection; that included a ‘live’ Q&A with the film’s producer. The documentary is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation, personally and globally.
