YOUNG PLATO Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: YOUNG PLATO is a heartfelt observation of one Belfast headmaster’s mission to make a difference in the lives of his young students who live in post-conflict Belfast’s Ardoyne, that has for generations been plagued by poverty, drugs and guns.
Directed by IFTA-Nominee Neasa Ní Chianáín (Frank Ned & Busy Lizzie, Fairytale of Kathmandu) and Declan McGrath (Lomax in Éirinn, Stephen: My Fight For Life) and produced by BAFTA winner David Rane (School Life, In Loco Parentis).
