A Touch of Greatness

School teacher Albert Cullum helped revolutionize classrooms with his innovative lessons. Choosing subject matter that deliberately rubbed against the grain of what was being taught at the time, Cullum introduced drama, poetry, and other (at the time) unheard of devices to help the flow of knowledge prosper. This documentary on Cullum's work is drawn from vintage footage of him in the classroom, as well as archive interviews with former students, and the man himself. It all adds up to a revealing portrait of a man who single-handedly took on the education system, and produced results that few could argue with.
