The second installment in the multi-year documentary project that follows children in seven countries to update their progress in school.

In 2003, WIDE ANGLE profiled children in seven countries - Afghanistan, Benin, Brazil, India, Japan, Kenya and Romania - as they started their first year of school, often despite great odds. Three years later, the series returns to visit each child, filming the first update on their progress in school. The contrasting lives of these endearing children provide rich insight into the disparities of opportunity around the globe - over 100 million children are unable to attend even one day of school. This special, the second installment in the multi-year documentary project, will include interviews with prominent education specialists from the children's own countries, who will lend their insights into the causes of and solutions to this global challenge.
