School Among Glaciers - Bhutan

A school teacher is assigned to Bhutan's remotest school. Midway into his session he is told that the school has to be closed as the inhabitants leave the valley to escape the winter.
One of the best documentaries from Bhutan and the first one to win several international awards in Japan, South Korea, Netherlands and Switzerland, School Among Glaciers is truly a masterpiece.
The first documentary from Bhutan to be make it to the IMDB list www.imdb.com/ti...

Finally, a more realistic documentary that shows the difficulties instead of just showing the pretty mountains and making it seem like life is easy there and everyone would just rush to the school! Of course parents are going to be hesitant. They don't know anything about education and what it can offer. And the children help with all the chores. It's a very difficult situation. The date on this said 2004. I would love to know what happened to all these children through the years.

I believe Lunana Yak in the Classroom is made based on this documentary. Hats off to Lopen Nawang for his dedication and being this children light in the darkness 😇😇

Pawo has said that this movie did inspire him to make ‘ Lunana- yak in the classroom’ but is not based or adapted from it.

[@bestofbest6966]

@@phuntshotenzin7934 the screen play is all same .. if the international award giver sees than it might be a problem .. the shortfilm was awarded based on the screen plays and story .. which is like a copy work, just my opinion as a media guy .

[@Druk-thunder]

The main storyline is about a teacher who goes to this remote place to teach. That's the end of story here. Only new thing is Yak in the class room. And one important thing that my friends always used to say is that this documentary was made using android and the movie was made using iPhone. To be short I loved both the documentary and the movie.

Original real teacher movie which is not in public and international domain...true son of Palden Drukpa without expecting in return. Real dedicated and contributer in nation building, not by words atleast (no long explanations and showing off) instead silent hero and true selflessness from inner core of the heart to serve TSA-WA-SUM...Long live originality, silent hero and real selfless servant of GNH Country...

Wow, absolutely beautiful and touching documentary.Thank you 🙏🏽Life of poverty and hardship in rural regions should not limit our precious children of education which could potentially lead them to a better life and future.

[@erwinasoedarini3888]

Mr. Ngawang Rabten, one of my personal heroes is currently teaching in Jakar Higher Secondary School, Bumthang, BHUTAN.
