Shoot the Messenger

Poster

Joe (David Oyelowo) is a teacher on a mission. He's determined to save the black youngsters at his school from a life of gangs, crime and underachievement - whether they like it or not. But when a seemingly minor incident rapidly escalates out of control and he loses his job, he turns against his own community. He quickly descends into madness and hits rock bottom, before realising he has a lot to learn about love, understanding and a different way of seeing his world.
