New Arrival Stand and Deliver

DESCRIPTION

Edward James Olmos stars as Jaime Escalante in this inspirational true story about a teacher and the unmotivated East Los Angeles high school students who he inspires, badgers, threatens and humors into learning the most demanding of all math sciences-calculus. But the accomplishment is so utterly fantastic that the students are accused of cheating. Given a choice to accept the allegation or retake an extremely demanding examination to prove themselves, the students decide to Stand and Deliver. The film is a showcase for Olmos’ exceptional talent, and earned him an Oscar nomination as Best Actor. Lou Diamond Phillips co-stars.
