The Trotsky (2010)

Leon Bronstein isn't your typical Montreal West high schooler. He believes himself to be the reincarnation of Leon Trotsky, the early 20th-century Soviet revolutionary. When his father, as punishment for a factory hunger strike, enrolls him in public school, Leon embraces his perceived destiny with unwavering conviction. He transforms the student body into his personal revolutionary cadre. Determined to ignite global change, Leon embarks on a hilarious and misguided quest to fulfill his self-proclaimed historical imperative, proving high school can be a revolutionary battlefield.
