Edward James Olmos portrays the real-life Jaime Escalante, a no-nonsense mathematic teacher in a tough East LA high school. Handed a classroom full of "losers" and "unteachables," Escalante is determined to turn his young charges' lives around. Drawing from his own cultural heritage, Escalante forms a bond with his largely Hispanic student body, evoking the names of famous Spaniards and Latin Americans whose great accomplishments were predicated on their ability to learn.

when I received this DVD is was in very poor condition, looked like someone got it out of the trash, the cover was tattered & torn and the CD was cracked. I can't believe someone would send that to me. I never got a chance to see the movie, I'm sure it's good.
