MY SUPERHEROES
Family / Biopic - Malaysia - 122' - 2017
Cheryl Ann Fernando is a wide-eyed new teacher, who does not know exactly what to expect from the rural school she is to teach in. Surprised but not dismayed by the insolence of her students, Cheryl quickly takes a liking to them and becomes personally involved in their lives. The children lead difficult lives, burdened by poverty, unstable parents, and low expectations. Most of them can’t see a way out of the cycle.
In an attempt to inspire them, she begins to coach thirty-five of them for a national English choral competition. Not only must the students be able to perform in front of an audience, they must do so in English and in unison. Working tirelessly, Fernando and the students finally manage to get their recitation up to scratch. But how will they compare next to students from more privileged schools? Giving it their all, the students take the stage.
