Power to change

A hit at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Once in a Lifetime is a French film about a teacher who schools a multi-ethnic class of teens, who have long given up on getting anything out of the school system, about the Holocaust. Growth, learning, love, tears, and laughter follow. The screening is part of the 11th annual Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival.

Once in a Lifetime: Tuesday, April 12, 7 p.m. $8-$10. Longmeadow High School, Longmeadow, pvjff.org.
