After winning the Sundance 'Festival Favorite Award,' the fact-based drama starring Derbez as an innovative teacher helping poor kids reach their potential arrives in U.S. theaters
Last January, the Mexican movie star Eugenio Derbez traveled to Park City, Utah, to attend the Sundance Film Festival with his wife, the actor and singer Alessandra Rosaldo, and his little daughter Aitana Isabella. It wasn't the first time he'd attended the annual two-week affair. The first time, in 2007, Derbez was part of the cast of the mainly Spanish-language film 'La Misma Luna' , directed by the U.S.
' In 2012, Derbez was watching the news on television while eating dinner at home, when he saw a report on Paloma Noyola Bueno, the brilliant 12-year-old girl from Matamoros whom some had christened “the next Steve Jobs.” “I wanted to know more because they didn't say much, they just made the note,” added the Mexican actor. Years later, the journalist Joshua Davis, who wrote the Wired article, crossed paths with Derbez.
