The Corn is Green trailer

Lilly Moffat is a schoolteacher disgusted by the circumstances in a Welsh mining town. She begins a school where she teaches the essentials in education to the residents of the town. Everyone around her, including her daughter disagree with her starting the school. She uses part of her home, since the Squire does not allow her to rent the space she needs. Miss Moffat’s school is in full force and her student Morgan Evans results to be a smart kid when he began as a blustering one.
