After accidentally avenging the death of one of her students, a maths teacher finds herself in the grey area of vigilantism.
A young teacher working at a school riddled by problems attempts to not only educate her students, but help them create a better future for themselves and escape their circumstances. After one of her star pupils is murdered by the student’s criminal ex-boyfriend, she wants to tackle several issues in the community relating to gangs, drug use, and many other challenges facing today’s youth.
The impressive cast is led by Trix Vivier (Trackers, Legacy) and Gershwin Mias (Boy Kills World, Ellen: The Ellen Pakkies Story), Bianca Flanders (Troukoors, Nêrens, Noord-Kaap), Brendon Daniels (White Lies, Skemerdans), De Klerk Oelofse (Hotel, Nêrens, Noord-Kaap) and Wilhelm van der Walt (Donkerbos, Fraksie).
“Juffrou X is a story that will keep haunting you and that you will want to watch again in order to try and fully understand it. It gives faces and names to people who are victims of gang-related violence every day.” – Terloops writer Riëtte van der Wat
In addition to the no-nonsense teacher, other characters include a security consultant with a shaky past who sets out to protect the school after a tragic incident, a school counsellor who is quick to stand up for what is right, a new teacher who previously worked at a private school and is completely unprepared for what awaits him in his new environment and a smart gang leader with a personal vendetta against the school.
Juffrou X is an unmissable and edgy primetime drama with a lot of heart and even more bite.
