👀 About the documentary "Schooling the World": Around the world, education is mentioned as the best way to change lives, become knowledgeable, gain status and be respected. But what if education becomes a tool effective to brainwashing, invade and dominate the mind of people. With this concern in mind, Schooling the World was filmed with beautiful scenes in rural Ladakh of India, where children are forced to school to learn Western values and knowledge and then believe it is the value of progress and development, while culture and lifestyle of their own and village they is inferior and backward.
The documentary "Schooling the World" challenges and forces us to reconsider about definition and beliefs about what we call knowledge, learning, ignorance, poverty, success and wealth. The documentary does not provide a complete answer but raises many questions so that all of us reconsider and open conversations and debates deeper about the beliefs and values that we have believed until now, especially through the way school education that we received.
