For over 40 years, Jay W. Jensen has been a driving force in the Miami public schools' drama program, counting Oscar nominated actor Andy Garcia and songwriter Desmond Child among his former students. Jensen has also fought vigilantly against government cutbacks in public-school arts education. In this astute documentary, we see how communities across America suffer in the absence of arts programs, along with provocative insights from Jensen, fellow education experts, and Jensen's former students.
