Dear John,
I’m delighted to tell you that
The Last Class film, about my final semester teaching my 800-student undergraduate course at UC Berkeley, is
now playing in 46 theaters in 20 states (and the film team is adding more screenings to
the list each day).
Due to all of you showing up to see it, seven theaters in six states have just extended their run of the film for another week:
People tell me it’s an uplifting and optimistic film at a very dark time in our history. It’s about the next generation — their energy, excitement, and enthusiasm — and their hopes for the future.
Should you wish to have a look,
here’s the trailer.
Kudos to the film’s producer, Heather Kinlaw Lofthouse, and director, Elliot Kirschner, for doing such a beautiful job with it, and for getting it into so many theaters.
And thank you for showing up to see the film, for showing up for each other, and for keeping up the fight.
