In remote Nepal, the Riverside School is a unique educational environment that educates low-caste and tribal children, half of whom are girls. There, children flourish in an environment free of the caste system, gender prejudice, and violence found in government schools - and in their society at large.
Follow the school's struggle to stay afloat during the bloody ten-year civil war in which children are caught in the middle. The police accuse them of being Maoist rebels while the rebels themselves forcibly draft children over twelve years old into their army. Though Nepal is currently enjoying a tenuous peace, the future is uncertain. Through in-depth interviews and stunning footage, A School of Their Own shows how children, even in the most extreme circumstances, can lead a nation to a better future. Directed by Debra Kaufman.
They are our children from HRDSN school at our base in Lamjung. The school is closed now and is the training center of our Nepalese Junior SAR dog disaster unit. The kids in this video area ll adults now and study in various colleges. Some have also joined our Junior Squad and "went back" to the place where this film was made. Now they do the real job.
