TIME FOR SCHOOL 2009 (Synopsis)
A 12 year old documentary project, Time for School, returns in 2009 with visits to seven classrooms in seven countries to offer a glimpse into the lives of seven extraordinary children who are struggling to get what nearly all American kids take for granted: a basic education. These children’s stories put a human face on a shocking fact that more than 75 million children are currently out of school; of these two third are girls. While each child in Time for School 3 has a unique story, taken together their lives tell an epic tale, shedding light on one of the most urgent and under-reported stories of our time.
