Featuring many of Hanan Harchol's former students in the cast and crew, ABOUT A TEACHER takes us through Hanan's first three years as a public high school teacher. The film paints a candid, authentic portrait of the teaching profession, shedding light on the challenges and pitfalls that lead nearly half of New York City teachers to leave the profession within the first five years, while simultaneously celebrating the deep rewards that this meaningful and noble profession can provide.
