Hugh Jackman and Allison Janney bring to life the story of two school officials who stole millions from their Long Island district
But it seems his advice backfires, as people quickly find out that Tassone has also been defrauding the district budget out of out of $250,000.
“We can’t jump the gun here, not when there’s this much at stake. We need to know what we’re dealing with,” Tassone advises at first, though Janney’s Gluckin is seen getting more and more spooked before finally making a teary confession near the end of the trailer. Making the movie more real is the fact that writer Mike Makowsky was actually one of Tassone’s students during this time. He was in middle school when Tassone and Gluckin were eventually arrested for stealing millions of dollars.last year when the movie premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. “I wanted to write something more personal about my hometown…and this story was ostensibly the biggest thing that has ever happened in it.
“It’s a strange thing,” Makowsky continued. “How can you care so deeply about the students, education, and devote your whole life and career to this very noble profession…but at the same time, take in such an egregious way from the students, from the community, from the tax payers?…. I’m still kind of hopeful for a greater dialogue.”
