For more than a year we have been quietly working on an amazing documentary of educational alternatives and indigenous life in Brazil. It is the first feature-length documentary co-produced by AERO with financial support from the New Visions Foundation. The documentary will have its first screening at the Virtual AEROx on February 22nd exclusively for participants. It will not be available anywhere else until much later in the year, when it will be rolled out world-wide. Watch the trailer. It is gorgeous! https://youtu.be/mEjy9lBfmsE
Here is a description:
Beyond Education is a thrilling documentary about transformation of society and cross cultural learning in times of crises.
Yasmin, a 14-year-old teenager is questioning her time in school. She takes off on a learning journey with two indigenous educators of the Xukuru nation with the quest of exploring new forms of education.
During this journey they visit traditional fishermen communities, a software company, an indigenous Guarani village, public and alternative schools. Along the way we will get to know Yasmin, her perspective on our world, her relationship with learning, her wishes and her fears. We will also learn about the extraordinary history of the Xucuru people that nearly disappeared in the 1980s. Today they form a nation of 12000 indigenous and run 38 Schools in their territory with 3000 students and 230 indigenous educators.
This meeting of the protagonists reflects the current state of our humanity facing deep transformation. It is a film about friendship beyond ages and cultures. Now you can watch the new documentary trailer HERE!! You can still register this week for $35, half price.
