Our Future Came from the School: The Story of the Yangjuan Primary School (2017) Online

This documentary, filmed in 2016, shares the story of graduates of China's Yangjuan Primary School and shows the students' journeys from mountain-village kids to big-city students and professionals. As their supporters prepare to visit the southwest China village for the Torch Festival, a festival celebrated each year by people from the Nuosu ethnic group, the supporters learn that the school has been suddenly closed by the government officials who oversee village schools. Current students have strong reactions to the school's abrupt closing, including one sixth-grader who has her own ideas for how things in her village should be run. Will her vision take hold? Or will the school's future unfold in a different way? The documentary ends with these questions.
