The Last Class

The film captures the event in the university's largest lecture hall, marking the end of a teaching career that spanned forty years and reached forty thousand students. Throughout the session, Reich encourages the students to challenge the current state of the world and expresses confidence in the capacity of the younger generation to pursue social change.

Produced in the United States by CoffeeKlatch Productions and Inequality Media Civic Action, the 71 minute project reached a worldwide box office total of 1 million USD.
