Professor (2010)

Professor
A college education has become part of the American dream But what are we learning and who is teaching us For nearly four decades Rabbi Jay Holstein has been one of the University of Iowas most popular professors With a foul mouth a raunchy sense of humor and a piercing brilliance Holstein uses massive 500student lectures to turn insideout the most fundamental assumptions on topics as divergent as sex suicide and the Holocaust His courses including Quest for Human Destiny have become the stuff of campus legend and between firing a Glock and running 10 miles per day the 69yearold Holstein spends his office hours wrestling with students over animal experimentation alcohol use and homosexuality Following the internationally acclaimed cinéma vérité of Sheriff and Musician Professor tackles intellectual labor and in doing so grapples with some of lifes greatest and most elemental enigmas
