| In remote Nepal, the Riverside School is a unique educational environment that educates low-caste and tribal children, half of whom are girls. Follow the school's struggle to stay afloat during the bloody ten-year civil war in which children are caught in the middle. The police accuse them of being Maoist rebels while the rebels themselves forcibly draft children over twelve years old into their army. Though Nepal is currently enjoying a tenuous peace, the future is uncertain. Through in-depth interviews and stunning footage even in the most extreme circumstances, can lead a nation to a better future. |
