"ENDLESSLY INTRIGUING...MAKES FOR SOME OF THE UNLIKELIEST DRAMA ON THE SCENE TODAY." - Movieline

"ANOTHER EXCEPTIONAL WORK BY A FILMMAKER WHO FINDS MASTERPIECES IN THE SMALLEST DETAILS. IT IS MEMORABLE, MESMERIZING STUFF." - Popmatters

A college education has become part of the American dream. But what are we learning and who is teaching us? For nearly four decades, Rabbi Jay Holstein has been one of the University of Iowa's most popular professors. With a foul mouth, a raunchy sense of humor, and a piercing brilliance, Holstein uses massive 500-student lectures to turn inside-out the most fundamental assumptions on topics as divergent as sex, suicide and the Holocaust.

His courses, including "Quest for Human Destiny," have become the stuff of campus legend, and between firing a Glock and running 10 miles per day, the 69-year-old Holstein spends his office hours wrestling with students over animal experimentation, alcohol use and homosexuality. Following the internationally acclaimed cinema verite of "SHERIFF" and "MUSICIAN", "PROFESSOR" tackles intellectual labor and in doing so grapples with some of life's greatest and most elemental enigmas. (75 minutes, 2010)
