On the Way to School

We forget that school is an opportunity. This César Award-winning documentary heartbreakingly reminds us that education is not available to every child on our planet. A must-watch, kids in tow.

Synopsis

Children in the four corners of the earth complete a long daily journey towards knowledge, to ensure a better future for themselves. Jackson, an 11-year-old Kenyan, walks 15 km of animal-populated Savannah to get to school. Carlito rides for more than 18 kilometers on barren Argentinean land. 12-year-old Zahira from Morocco walks an exhaustive route through mountain trails, while 13-year-old Samuel from India treads 4 painful kilometers in a wheelchair.
