Are You Going to School Today?
The film takes us to rural schools in the predominantly tribal district of Dungarpur in southern Rajasthan. Children come from difficult contexts with very limited material resources, absentee fathers and younger siblings to attend to. How do teachers respond to this situation? How do they bring children to school and create an environment in which they are motivated to learn? Even as the film observes the efforts that teachers make, it explores the fragile relationship of children with schools. It seems that every day the question needs to be asked anew: Are you going to school today?
