Film Screening: ‘Accidental Hero: Room 408’ | Piedmont

Submitted by the Event Organizer

America’s embattled public education system provides kindling for numerous negative news stories-school shootings, drugs, gang violence.

Accidental Hero: Room 408 provides a powerful exception to those stereotypes. Following an East Bay public high school teacher and his class, the film tells the story of Tommie Lindsey, an extraordinary man who is changing lives by introducing his students to a little known academic sport called “forensics.”

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary, New York International Film & Video Festival.
