Why Shoot the Teacher (1977)

In the 1930’s, Max Brown is an urban young man from an Eastern province, fresh from college, whose only job offer is in a one-room school house in the Canadian prairie. At first he’s distant, superior, lonely, and bewildered; his students are rebellious. Over the course of the year, he is drawn to Alice Field, the wife of a farmer, in a love that can lead nowhere. But, he and his students connect, a connection that matters and lasts. If you’ve got other Canadian cinema you’re searching for feel free to ask. I might be able to find it for you.
