A Global Roll Call: The Need for Education Worldwide 2 DVD Series

Without schooling, a child has no future. Without an educated population, a nation has no future. These two parts of an ongoing Wide Angle series—the third episode to be produced in 2009—examine gaps and voids in educational opportunities that, tragically, keep many developing countries from advancing. Following a group of children from around the world as they progress through life—and, on an uneven basis, through school—the series gets to the heart of this colossal yet not intractable socioeconomic problem. 2-part series, 57 and 87 minutes.
