It robbed us the opportunity to be school children, debating, choral music, soccer was literaly killed by the struggle entering high schools. I know for sure that this movie will assist us to revive the activity of heated debate, I cannot wait for the movie to heat our screens. I with my company want to use the movie to revive the activity, as we a small company that is involve in developing learners especially from disadvantage communities. We hope with the movie we will have a tournament that will ensure that learners from around the world can debate and enjoy their school days.

But, on the practical level of how the world works, we all need some agreed-on standards, these institutions currently hold the lead, so if you want to move ahead in the eyes of others, then you need to tangle with them. Should you keep your own standards, above and beyond what society has deemed "excellent?" Of course. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't strive for the best in this world.

Doesn't help that I'm in Kuwait, I doubt that this will hit the theaters here. I'm headed to Egypt, but I doubt that it will play there either. I've heard so many good things about this movie. The critiques seem a bit nitpicky about historical inaccuracies such as the debate with USC as opposed to Harvard. I can’t wait to see this film.

A gross injustice and unfortunately a typical consequence of far too many regimes. It is the people caught in the middle whose suffering we will never know that are the true victims. Excellent, balanced analysis. Look forward to reading more. “The tragedy of Pakistan is in the conditions of a people whose political sponsors are losing the game of nations.”
