Classroom 8 (Spanish: Aula 8) is a 2023 Peruvian documentary film written, produced, filmed, edited and directed by Héctor Gálvez.[1] It follows a school teacher Víctor Zapata Farro and his way of educating his students in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
In 2021, from his modest apartment, a professor teaches virtual classes seeking to reflect with his young low-income students on racism, politics, and inequality – themes that resonate in an increasingly fractured country.[3]
