Yule Caise

Based on the award-winning best seller by Jess Mowry, Way Past Cool is a coming-of-age story told in reverse -- the moving tale of a group of young black kids and their fight to reclaim their childhood. (Redeemable Features)

The story of one young African-American woman's determined escape from the ghetto through enlightenment and education. Although the film gets sidetracked periodically, it never derails and stays focused on the principals, Sidney Poitier's character, the teacher; his real life daughter Sydney's character, the pupil; and their inspiring and heartwarming story.
