Synopsis
Set in the West Bank, Basem, a Palestinian schoolteacher, struggles to reconcile his risky commitment to political resistance with the chance of a new relationship with volunteer-worker, Lisa (Imogen Poots) and his emotional support for one of his students. The British-Palestinian director Nabulsi has stated that she "needed to make this film to cope with the injustice I've witnessed"

Critics
The Teacher premiered ... just a few weeks before the attacks and aftermath of 7th October which lend an almost unbearable topicality to this human drama about genocide and hostage-taking
Hugh Barnes, theartsdesk
Gripping and full of tension, The Teacher not only makes for a wonderful cinematic experience, but poses some all-important questions the wider world has seemingly avoided answering for too long.
