Synopsis
Jackson, Zahira, Samuel and Carlito, the heroes of this inspiring documentary, are from Morocco, Kenya, India and Argentina. The film observes as the four students confront and overcome often dangerous obstacles – enormous distances over treacherous territory, snakes, elephants and even bandits – on their journey to the classroom. These four parallel stories remind us that education is a privilege and a precious resource.
