School on the Margin

Original title: La escuela contra el margen

The public high school named Manuel Mujica Lainez is located in Villa Lugano, on the margins of the City of Buenos Aires, where the highest poverty rates are found. During a whole year, a school workshop was filmed on a day to day basis, where 17 year old teenagers worked on the collective mapping of their neighbourhood. With a thorough filming device upon this school assignment, classroom life takes shape and, at the same time, the external social issues lived by the students arise.
