More DescriptionShattered.Broken.A red-light runner forever changed Sam's existence. Amongst the scattered pieces of his life, a new opportunity arises to cast off the shadows of a poverty-ridden childhood and become a member of one of the greatest professions. The Arizona Teachers Academy, a program designed to help bring in new hope to Arizona's children by training and developing individuals to help ensure there is a teacher in every classroom. Even with the urgency of a teacher shortage and Sam's academic success, he quickly learns that being a traumatic brain injury survivor may cause his mentors to turn against him and may even prevent him from becoming a classroom teacher. Will the deep-seated prejudices towards people with disabilities keep a decorated student and a new educator locked out of a profession claiming to suffer from historic understaffing? Does the Red for Ed movement speak truth and allow Sam to realize his dream of being a teacher, or does the privilege of prejudice keep Sam locked out of the profession?
