Written and Directed by: Li Dong

Genre: Drama
"Dong understands leaving the audience wanting, and his debut is a sure handed, well produced and sharply shot little drama that drills deeply and believably into often crass human behavior."
- Original-Cin
"To me...it reminded me of A Few Good Men...much like Aaron Sorkin's military masterclass. Stealing School is pressure cooker full of twists and big speeches..."
- eTalkCTV
"Stealing School opens a window into anti-Asian prejudices so they (the audience) can be subtly subverted by the end of the movie."
- The Hollywood Reporter
