UC Berkeley Professor Emeritus Robert Reich returns to Zellerbach for a special screening of The Last Class, the hit documentary capturing his final semester teaching his legendary “Wealth and Poverty” undergraduate course at UC Berkeley.
For nearly two decades, Prof. Reich inspired thousands of UC Berkeley students with humor, humanity, and an unshakable belief in our collective power to triumph over cynicism. This intimate film shows him in the classroom as never before, a master educator inspiring one final set of students to go out and fix a broken world. The Last Class is both profound and hopeful: a testament to the enduring power of education.
Following the screening, Prof. Reich takes the stage in conversation with Emmy Award–winning producer, writer, and comedian W. Kamau Bell.
