RADICAL with star Eugenio Derbez in attendance

GEMS will kick off on Nov. 2 with RADICAL, directed by Christopher Zalla! The film is based on a true story about a teacher in a neglected Mexican border town who tries a new method to unlock his students’ curiosity, potential…and maybe even their genius. RADICAL stars Eugenio Derbez, who will be in attendance to receive Miami Film Festival’s Impact Award for his extraordinary contribution to the Latin American entertainment landscape, as well bringing attention to the advancement of educational equity for Latino students.

After the film, stay for our annual Opening Night Celebration, celebrating Mexican culture on the Day of the Dead with complimentary beer, wine and bites at the Koubek Garden.
