"Every school day, 160,000 students stay home because they are afraid" - (American Federation Of Teachers/School Safety Bulletin)

Nearly 3 million thefts and violent crimes occur on or near school campuses every year. This equates to almost 16,000 incidents per school day, or one every six seconds - (U.S. Department Of Justice)

"one in nine teachers has been attacked at school and 95% of those attacks were committed by students" - (Louis Harris And Associates Study For Metropolitan Life)

In an education system on the verge of collapsing, one man is pushed to the brink. 187 tells the brutal story of a teacher, Trevor Garfield (Jackson), who responds to the battle ground in his classroom, by taking the law into his own hands. It's a thrilling and powerful tale about a man driven too far by a society gone mad, a good man who loses his way.
