  "description": "Pessimism is fine, cynicism is not. This is such a thoughtful and touching documentary given its brief runtime. It's scoped to Robert Reich's final semester teaching at UC Berkeley and works incredibly well in showing how the class comes together and the students take it all in. Reich is undeniably charming and charismatic, cares deeply about his students and refuses to have his optimism blunted. This made me miss going to class at the small CSU I attended. I had a wildly different college experience, but that nostalgia is hard to shake. I envy the students who got to take his class (my wife being among them).",
