Now that the school year is winding down, I thought this would be a good time to watch this documentary. The documentary follows Philadelphia inner city high school culinary teacher Wilma Stephenson through a school year, leading her students in her challenging classroom. Like all chefs in their kitchens, Stephenson holds high standards and demands respect; heaven help the student who doesn't come correct. The documentary also focuses on some of Stephenson's students - a football player, a cheerleader, and an African immigrant - as they work to compete in a cooking competition with scholarships on the line. This was a delight to watch, and it will bring back memories of that favourite teacher some of us were (hopefully) lucky to have who made a difference in our lives and made us work for a better tomorrow.
