Our School

Synopsis

Three Roma (“Gypsy”) children from a small Transylvanian town participate in a project to desegregate the local school, struggling against indifference, tradition and bigotry with humor, optimism and sass. Shot over four years, OUR SCHOOL is a captivating, bitter-sweet and often funny story about hope and race.
