I really hope the film will be made available soon to stream online at home. I don't have a car, usually can't afford Lyft, am older and have some disabilities, and I already work from home anyway. So the stuff about community is nice, but it's not most appropriate in my case. If you are able to make this an option in the future, I will very grateful.
I saw The Last Class with my grown son at the Berkeley Elmwood Theater. Special for us because we live here :) I was so moved by the film. Robert Reich is such a mensch and I’m proud to be part of the community he has given so much to over the years.
Me too! It's fun to think that we were in the movie theater together. I absolutely loved it. And I agree, seeing all the scenes of Berkeley made it extra special
I saw the film by myself in Houston. Sat on the front row next to another older woman. I must admit, we kibitzed a bit during the film, then stayed in our seats for another 15 minutes or so just chatting. What a magnificent film! I've not been handling all of this (gesticulating wildly) all that well, and it was such a delight to meet another person I with whom I had so much in common. That was the atmosphere in the whole theater - a warm blanket of sanity, solidarity, and (dare I say) optimism when we need all of that so very much. THANK YOU for giving us this wonderful gift!
Great documentary! I absolutely loved it although I wished there were more of your classes in it. But Heather said in the Coffee Klatch that your classes are available online. Yay!! My friends have suggested that you show The Last Class at the Roxie Theatre in San Francisco. I saw the film at the Oakridge cinema in San Jose. A pain in the ass to get to during rush hour from my home in Mountain View. But worth every second! I was all by myself but people were very friendly so I did have some conversations, mainly with the theater staff since I got there early. I recommended Inequality Media to the theater staff and told them to watch all your videos on YouTube. And to tell their friends ! I look forward to your texts and emails. You are inspiring and encouraging and that's why I follow you on every platform.
I saw The Last Class with a few retired high school teachers in Sacramento,CA. We thoroughly enjoyed Professor Reich’s farewell to classroom teaching. The film confirmed what some of his former students had said about his classes. Robert Reich is congenial, compassionate, and full of integrity. What a tremendous blessing that this bullied boy would grow to have this incredible life. We have come to rely on him as a voice of reason, a companion in the wilderness. Truly, Robert Reich is an exemplary human being.
The Last Class with Robert Reich movie tonight at the Sebastiani Theatre in Sonoma was Inspirational and poignant. This is a very important film which Bob Reich the person, showed his beautiful funny, approachable and vulnerable side. The discussion with Director Elliott Kirschner and Producer Heather Lofthouse after the movie was deeply intelligent and informative. I have never seen so many people stay for a full hour after the film for the discussion. It was an uplifting yet at times somber conversation but I believe everyone there left with a bit of a lift in their heart and a way to look to a better tomorrow… for reals.
I saw the film in Sacramento, CA. At first it was confusing to get a ticket because there wasn’t a host. Eventually they sorted it out. I loved the film! Poignant at times, serious, funny, raw in its honesty about how hard it can be to leave a career you love. And the music was fantastic—a wonderful surprise! Totally worth the long drive to the theater. Thank you!
Met a friend at the Elmwood in Berkekey. Excellent film, so well conceived with warmth and humor. Robert Reich is a messenger we should all be listening to. Thank goodness he didn’t retire from being that messenger. We all clapped at the end of the movie with tears, smiles and hope.
My husband and I saw the film this afternoon in Sebastopol, CA.
Robert Reich is such a gift to us all, and most especially to his many students over the years. His enthusiasm and joy are needed in these challenging times.
Thank you for the Q&A afterward; brought it all together.
Loved The Last Class, West Los Angeles, NUART Theater. Still thinking about it, poignant, seeing Professor Reich in a phase of profound wisdom and insight, sad to see his career end in the lecture hall, yet excited to be a part of the transition to new energy and his new platforms and knowledge in very stressful times.
My partner and I are both teachers. We laughed, we cried, we clapped... It was such a moving, beautiful story and we thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the way you talk to and about your students, and how carefully you craft the lessons you teach them. I teach math and often see some of the blank stares you got when sharing graphs--and students also just want ME to tell them what story a graph is telling rather than interpreting it themselves. But like you, I want kids to think for themselves and consider the stories that can be told or even misconstrued with math. Understanding math is a civil right, especially in this day and age where algorithms affect what we see or don't see, where voting lines are drawn, and how much of the world we are exposed to. Thank you for sharing your final semester with us!
Saw the film at the Alamo Draft House in San Francisco on 6/30 with my husband and two daughters who are both college students - one at Cal! She loved the way the scenes of campus were captured in the film. We all agreed it was an inspiring story. And the complimentary popcorn candy and water delivered to each seat was a nice touch! Recommended the film to my parents who then went to see it at the Rialto Elmwood in Berkeley on 7/10. They enjoyed it too.
Prof Reich may not be teaching in the classroom anymore but with his daily Substack posts he is still connecting with many people like me - inspiring, encouraging and making us think.
I went to see The Last Class on July 1st in Berkeley with my sister and brother-in-law. Robert Reich was there for Q&A afterward. I wore my Trickle Down...Trick t-shirt I bought from Inequality Media, and got a picture with the man himself! Professor Reich, you are a much needed balm of hope in these horrifying times!
I saw the movie on Friday, June 27th at 7pm. This was the night it premiered at the Quad in New York City. The movie and the Q and A that followed were both spectacular. I kept thinking that we need voices like Professor Reich's more and more, given the immense social problems we face locally, nationally and globally. I appreciated Professor Reich's wise words and sage perspectives. His students were lucky to have such a wonderful and caring educator in their lives and I am sure he made a profound impact on them, as he has on me. Keep sharing your thoughts with us, Professor Reich. Wishing you the best in your new chapter! Anja

We plan on doing so and will let you know. Thank you. We understand.
Consider asking AARP to run it in its moves at home series.
Thank you!!!
I live in a rural area with a multiple hour drive to view the film. I too would enjoy the ability to stream it
Me too
Need a live showing in Portland Me. Nicholodian is a great lovation in town with public transportation across

I tried to get a ticket in the Boston area but it was sold out. I would like to see it if more performances are added
Same here. Looks like it'll be in Newton July 18-26.

I was there Friday and Saturday night at The Nuart theater in West Los Angeles.
Very moving and enlightening documentary!!

Thank you. Our ticket sales in LA are a big help in encouraging other theaters to show the film.
