A Touch Of Greatness (2004)

During a time when traditional teaching methods were common in American schools, Albert Cullum fostered a unique learning environment in his fifth-grade classroom. He used poetry, drama, and imaginative activities to connect with his students. Filmmaker Robert Downey, Sr. documented many of Cullum's projects on film. This film combines rare footage and interviews with Cullum and his former students to tell the story of a teacher who inspired a generation to find their potential.
