“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 before shared publicly. One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus – the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that society has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring, as he offers his final assignment: Who will be the teachers of tomorrow? (Dir. by Elliot Kirshner, 2025, USA, 71 mins., Not Rated)”
