Class Act -

The film tells the true story of Tierney Cahill, a sixth-grade teacher from Reno, who in an attempt to educate her students on the political process and inspire her civics class, took on a challenge by her students and ran for Nevada's 2nd Congressional District seat in 2000. Cahill's students ended up running her campaign.

Cahill ultimately lost to her opponent, Republican Jim Gibbons, who was seeking a third term and ran unopposed the last time, but the single mother of three kids ended up winning 35% of the popular vote and went on to influence public policy in the state. Cahill is now running again, campaigning as a candidate for the Nevada State Assembly, District 25.

However, the film is being made as an inspirational comedy rather than a straight drama.
