Summary In a reality where feelings are more important than facts, a math teacher is struggling to keep reality straights for her students. This movie tackles the problem where lies and alternative facts are considered to be alright to state in terms of political correctness. With a good sense of humor, Alternative Math is a short film that brings attention to the disorder in today's society. This movie by IdeaMan Studios shows a good-willed math teacher that comes to the spotlight and is under fire when she gives a young student of hers a failing score on his wrong answers. After that, the debate on how 2+2=4 is shown throughout the film which grows from a ridiculous argument with some bigoted parents to a whole country mess involving the citizen and a board of city figures, resulting in the math teacher losing her job. However, there is a hilarious yet happy ending that will soon commence at the end of the movie.
