Casey Galligan's Wednesday film pick of the week- School on the Move

Free Admission. School on the Move (2008) French  film maker Michel DeBats follows anthropologist Alexandra Livrillier as  she fights alongside the Evenk people of south-east Siberia to maintain  their heritage. School on the Move travels with her to the taiga where  this nomadic people live. Here she has helped set up a mobile school to  give Evenk children the chance to receive a modern education without  having to sacrifice their ancestral traditions. Lessons, for example,  include learning to use a computer and lassoing and riding a reindeer.  Instead of being sent away to a boarding school at age 6, young Evenk  students can stay with their families, making it possible to conserve  and even revive their language and culture.
