Three Roma kids – Alin, Benjamin, and Dana – take part in a pioneering project to desegregate their local school in order to access education and new friendships. Though met by faces of indifference, the yoke of tradition and the groans of bigotry, they push back with humor, enthusiasm and insolence.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
Exercising admirable restraint in its expose of ingrained racism in the Romanian educational system, absorbing docu Our School follows the sad yet resilient journey of three Roma children over four years as they grapple with prejudice and stereotyping.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Discrimination against nomadic populations is hardly restricted to Romania, but the integration of that country's largest ethnic minority seems particularly pressing. If only that view were shared by the Romanian adults on screen, most of whom display a shocking degree of prejudice.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
Despite the efforts of many interviewees to seem broad-minded, Nicoara has a knack for ferreting out moments that reveal actual Romanian attitudes.
Slant Magazine by Steve Macfarlane
The filmmakers spend vastly more time chronicling bigoted remarks from Romanians about gypsy life than they do actual gypsy life, so a minor crisis of perspective hangs over Our School.
One ring to rule them all
A whimsical love letter to contemporary Parisian life in the form of an eccentric romantic comedy.
Your future is in his hands.

What happens when make-believe believes it's real?
Can these two siblings beat the odds?
Lines may divide us, but hope will unite us.
Fearless lives forever
