A maverick Elvis-loving headmaster in a rough Belfast housing estate sends his young pupils home with philosophy to challenge violence. He uses critical thinking and humor to restore hope in a community, plagued by poverty and drugs.

This was amazing. I loved how the Head uses Socratic dialogue and Stoic philosophy in his school. I am a cognitive behavioural therapist for children and young people. CBT has its roots in Stoicism. We use the same ideas principles in therapy that Kevin McArevey is using with to help his pupils develop critical thinking skills. Well done Mr McArevey and Holy Cross.
