THE LAST CLASS

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich might be famous for his public service, best-selling books and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true calling. THE LAST CLASS captures a master educator wrestling with the dual realities of his own aging and his students inheriting a world out of balance. Reich confronts the impending finality with unflinching candor, humor, introspection and a rawness of emotion he has never shared publicly before. One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on campus — the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations to not accept that society has to stay the way it is. His final assignment: Who will be the teachers of tomorrow? DIR Elliot Kirschner; PROD Heather Kinlaw Lofthouse, Meredith DeSalazar, Josh Melrod. U.S., 2025, color, 71 min. NOT RATED
