Inspired by actual events, this stirring drama centres on two mothers who aim to reform their children's failing school. Jamie (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is a single mother juggling two jobs. Her dyslexic daughter Malia (Emily Alyn Lind) attends the Adams Elementary School in Pittsburgh, where she suffers from its lack of educational standards and poor teaching. Appalled at what is happening at the school, Jamie is then informed that a new law allows a combination of parents and teachers to transform a failing establishment into a charter school. Deciding to take matters into her own hands, Jamie teams up with Nona (Viola Davis), a mother and teacher at Adams Elementary, and instigates a takeover with the aim of turning the school around. With rousing central performances from Gyllenhaal and Davis, Won't Back Down is an uplifting story of a struggle against formidable opposition, as both mothers refuse to sacrifice their children's rights to a decent education.
