Young Plato

Plato a dusty old philosopher? Not at this all-boys primary school in Belfast where headmaster Mr. McAvery keeps philosophy alive and kicking. He teaches the children to get in touch with their emotions. Young Plato is a film that touches your heart, about philosophy as an answer to conflict, about war and unity, about anointing pain through understanding. The result is a disarming portrait of young boys and their inner turbulence.
