What we really Woll'n - Janine Wolf

The German Department of the People's University of Cáceres (Spain) has organized in cooperation with Extrema'doc a film series. One of the films that I have looked at me, made me very interested. So I wrote a brief review or summary of it. I have to thank my German teacher, Cristina, who handles the corrections of the text.

What we really Woll'n , directed by Janine Wolf.

"What it means to be a child?"

On 26 November, the film What we really Woll'n at the Adult School of Cáceres "broadcast". The 26-minute film was shot in India and it is shown how it can be quite different to live in Germany and in India as a child. The film presents three young people who have helped in India for several months in voluntary activities for children. The children participate in various activities, namely sports, dancing as well as some of the Children's Parliament of Chennai. Are you interested in the future as well as to present problems of their society and the educational need that has for many children, unfortunately, remain unsatisfied because- Economic problems. A young representative to the Children's Parliament is aware that there is a big problem if children go to school not because they have to go to work. This means that the new generations to participate in politics and in the management of some skills in their society, so to speak, or at least that one keeps their opinions to be important.

emphasis is therefore placed particularly on the right to education. Other people's and children's rights are also mentioned by the volunteers as well as by the interviewed Indian children. It also compares the schools in India with those of Germany. There would, of course, different types of Schools in India. Some are poorer while others were yet to schools in Germany are similar. The film shows the two very different extremes of this reality of India. On the one hand, a family will be interviewed, their children, great use as well as very small children, no public transport to go to school because they belong to the lowest stratum of the population (or Kasste). The social stratification still exists today and, unfortunately, plays a very important role in Indian society, even if it has already changed somewhat. On the other hand, is shown in the documentary, such as children from the highest social classes it can afford not only a good education but also the chance to make a study at the university.

It is encouraging to see how the children in the poorest areas of India, as well as in poorer areas of the world, be happy about everything. The smile on the face has to do with neither rights nor with prosperity. Nevertheless, one can perhaps hope to do now because it give a new "wave" sc heint, women and children (middle class, especially girls) from the former ideas u nd of Yoke of obedience to the parents and the men (especially in connection with the marriage) to free. In the film, a young couple is interviewed. One asks the young man if he believed that it would be prepared at the age of fifteen have to give up school to work. He claims to be a fifteen-year-old person would naturally become the adults in India and had been treated, in contrast to Germany. Mainly in India, it might say, perhaps, especially in modest families to earn money to live simply. The same idea is commented on by an Indian cricketer, and that the biggest problem for many families in India is the money. If you have no money, you could be my least at all appreciate a chance to work out a future. Money is of course also the reason why many girls are themselves not decide who they want to get married. Some people would also think that they would continue to learn better if they could afford it.

The film suggests that one can easily solve many problems through cooperation. If the first world and developing countries would more likely do something together, we could reach more destinations faster. The collaboration also enables the development and the progressive independence of the latter's independence here means to have other countries, but that this "relationship" benefit the two countries and that the two enriched by working in any case, no money will be, although in different ways.
