What The Forbidden Education Is About

The documentary questions the logic of modern schooling and the way education is understood, and while doing so shows educational experiences outside the norm: Montessori, progressive education, home schooling and approaches built on popular culture are taken up in turn. The team interviewed more than ninety educators across eight countries. Germán Doin’s film was itself made in a way that matches the ideas it puts forward: funded entirely by crowdfunding, with hundreds of co-producers, and distributed under a free licence, so copying and reproduction are permitted. In August 2012 it opened simultaneously in more than a hundred cities across thirteen countries. What it argues for is not one alternative but the idea that the existing model is not the only road.
