Edward James Olmos portrays the real-life Jaime Escalante, a no-nonsense mathematic teacher in a tough East LA high school.

when I received this DVD is was in very poor condition, looked like someone got it out of the trash, the cover was tattered & torn and the CD was cracked. I can't believe someone would send that to me. I never got a chance to see the movie, I'm sure it's good.
