The First Grader

The First Grader
National Geographic Entertainment
September 4, 2010
Drama
DVD
B-
The mostly true story of an 84-year-old Kenyan goat-farmer who becomes the title character, and the young teacher (Harris) who believes in him, directed by Justin Chadwick.  The movie alternates between moving and overdone.  (For instance, the mini-documentary reveals that the teacher's husband was supportive, while here there is marital stress without resolution.)
