Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Radical, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Christopher Zalla, actor/producer Eugenio Derbez and producer Ben Odell.

In a Mexican border town plagued by neglect, corruption and violence, a frustrated teacher tries a radical new method to break through his students’ apathy and unlock their curiosity, their potential… and maybe even their genius.

Coming off of the Academy Award-winning film CODA, Eugenio Derbez stars in a career-defining performance as teacher Sergio Juárez Correa. Radical was the opening night film at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Festival Favorite, out of all 111 features that debuted there.

Pantelion Films and Participant, in association with Epic Magazine & The Lift, present Radical, a 3PAS Studios Production, starring Eugenio Derbez, Daniel Haddad, Gilberto Barraza, and introducing Jennifer Trejo, Mía Fernanda Solis and Danilo Guardiola.

From Participant, Radical will be released in theaters on November 3.
