I can´t see the video!
It appears a message that says that I have to try again later, but later nothing happens…

this is a beautifully told movie with an extremely important message. If you care about children, education and the arts you will love it. We need to be made more aware of the state of education in this country and how constant academic testing is only making it worse.
