ROE is a ride along in the day of the life of Jenna, a teacher at a public college. With words of warning ringing in her ears from a fellow teacher, Jenna tries to establish boundaries with her students.

ROE is a love letter to teachers everywhere and recognises how complex the student/teacher dynamic is; and how much we owe to those in this tough profession.
