In most parts of the world, school is a crucial developmental environment in which to grow, form and find self actualization. Then there are some places where school saves your life. The mission of the nonprofit organization Still I Rise is to solve the global school crisis by emancipating the most discriminated against, poor and vulnerable children through a cutting-edge educational model that aims to provide excellent education, free of charge, to all the children in the world. The documentary will tell the stories of these children and their daily lives in the facilities founded by the nonprofit, a journey that will travel across the most battered corners of the Earth. It will uncover some of the world’s most complex settings, where usually the youngest children have no future and where the schools of Still I Rise are giving it back to them instead.
