Our School (film screening and Q&A)

Date: Wed 25 September 2013

Our School follows three Roma (commonly known as "Gypsy") children in a rural Transylvanian village who are among the pioneer participants in an initiative to integrate the ethnically segregated Romanian schools. When their school is desegregated, Alin, Benjamin, and Dana set out for the city school, optimistic for education and new friendships, even as funds earmarked for integration are questionably used to build a "Roma-only" school in their village. Their innocent optimism quickly sours when the children are met with low expectations and further isolation.

The screening is hosted by the Amnesty's Children's Human Rights Network. Panel discussion and Q&A will follow the screnning.
