Posing a challenge to the assumption that the western model of education improves lives wherever it is, this controversial film gives insight to the effects of western education as a panacea for world issues. 'With a rare, philosophical sense for the truth, the documentary reflects on the alienating impact of schooling not just on children but also on adults in indigenous contexts such as Ladakh.' Dr. Nosheen Ali, UC Berkeley. Carol Black, 66 min., English, USA and India, 2010. Co-sponsored by the Education Abroad Program – UC Santa Barbara.
