“It’s not easy to make an intense thriller about things that could actually happen. But when one appears, it’s glorious.”
— Mat Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com

KPAC and UI School of Global Studies presents Oscar nominated film THE TEACHERS’ LOUNGE. When one of her students is suspected of theft, teacher Carla Nowak decides to get to the bottom of the matter. Caught between her ideals and the school system, the consequences of her actions threaten to break her. A smart and provocative modern parable with the heart of a thriller, The Teachers’ Lounge brilliantly uses its setting as the backdrop for a look at how quickly even tight-knit communities can be destabilized. Sponsored by UI School of Global Studies.
