This movie has only just come out but should be on DVD later in the year. Explores Kenya's move to free education and would measure against the MDG's in Education. Also an interesting look at how age and disparity and access to opportunity would look. Showing now in cinemas (the small independents). [Submitted by Chris Stephenson]
