A maverick Belfast headmaster is determined to change the fortunes of an inner-city community plagued by urban decay, sectarian aggression, poverty and drugs.

synopsis

At an all-boys primary school in post-conflict Belfast, Northern Ireland, headmaster Kevin McArevey encourages his pupils to see beyond the boundaries and limitations of their community, sending them home each day armed with the wisdom of the ancient Greek philosophers. The boys challenge their school-friends, parents and neighbours to find alternatives to violence and prejudice, and to reject the mythologies of war. Young Plato is full of humour, and shines a positive light on contemporary Northern Ireland, offering a model for building a culture of peace in these troubling times.
