<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello everyone</div><div><br></div>I used this film ʻSchooling the Worldʻ for similar reasons with students in International Development and in Education when working in academia in the UK. It led to some wonderful discussions. Also ʻ<a href="http://www.isuma.tv/inuit-knowledge-and-climate-change">Inuit Knowledge and Climate Changeʻ</a> which was the first full film in the Inuktitut language made by Isuma (an Inuit media company) led to some great debates. My husband, Udi Mandel and I made two documentaries that each provide an in-depth account of current(ish) examples indigenous ways of knowing, learning, relating while also balancing devastating colonial impacts past and present. One film, ʻ<a href="https://vimeo.com/128091605">Re-Learning the Land: A Story of Red Crow College</a>ʻ is an in-depth account of Red Crow College in Blackfoot territory in what is now Alberta, in southern Canada, where in a former residential school, a tribal college was in process of reclaiming Blackfoot paradigmatic pedagogies through most of their teaching in the school. We completed the film in 2014. Tragically, due to neo-colonial politics, the approach and program was disbanded by leadership a couple of years after the film was made, and the building was burned down soon after. That said, the film offers some enriching stories from those that not only were teaching at the college, but several of whom were forced through schooling themselves in that exact residential school. The other film, "<a href="https://vimeo.com/172681670">Re-Learning Hope: A Story of Unitierra</a>" is an in-depth account of the Universidad de la Tierra in Oaxaca as it was then in 2013. We finished the film in 2016 and by that point there had been many changes within Unitierra. That said, it is a useful account of post-development in action and there are some wonderful interview sections with Gustavo Esteva. Both films can be found at Films for Action and they are also freely accessible on our vimeo page, Multisense Media. Iʻve added links to each film above! We are also still in process of finishing a film on Swaraj University and Gaia University - both are in their last stages of editing!<div><br></div><div>Aloha from Hawaiʻi</div><div>Kelly</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 29, 2023 at 10:44 AM Laurence Davis <<a href="mailto:L.Davis@ucc.ie">L.Davis@ucc.ie</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg2450817097554827409">

<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px">While the contrast between indigenous ways of learning and understanding and dominant/hegemonic modern Western forms of education is quite starkly drawn - as indeed is the contrast between indigenous
and modern Western capitalist ways of life more generally - this very starkness can be useful pedagogically in challenging university students to question some of their most deeply ingrained preconceptions and prejudices about education and schooling. </div>
<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:11pt;margin:0px">What I find especially moving and poignant about this film is its depiction of the impact of colonial Western education projects on indigenous families and communities, with community elders persuaded
of their own uselessness, disillusioned young people brainwashed into leaving their communities to pursue the Western capitalist dream finally confronted with the ultimate fraudulence and emptiness of that promise (reminiscent in some ways of Shevek's journey
to Urras in Le Guin's 1974 anarchist utopian novel <i>The Dispossessed</i>: '<span style="font-family:Merriweather,Georgia,serif;font-size:14px;text-align:left;color:rgb(24,24,24);background-color:rgb(255,255,255);display:inline">Here
you see the jewels, there you see the eyes. And in the eyes you see the splendor, the splendor of the human spirit. Because our men and women are free—possessing nothing, they are free. And you the possessors are possessed. You are all in jail. Each alone,
solitary, with a heap of what he owns. You live in prison, die in prison. It is all I can see in your eyes—the wall, the wall!'</span>), and people of all ages coming to see themselves as failures in a system explicitly designed/rigged to ensure that most
'fail' in order that others might prosper at their expense. </div>

around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a 'better' life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture's way of learning and understanding the world with our own? SCHOOLING THE WORLD
takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world's last sustainable indigenous cultures.</span></p>
