The perilous journey of mountain children to reach a classroom
In short: In the remote highlands of China, education often requires a physical feat of endurance. This documentary follows the high-altitude journey of an 11-year-old student navigating the Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau.
The footage highlights the extreme geography of Mao County in the Aba Prefecture of Sichuan. For students like Yang Jiao Jiao, attending school is not a simple commute but a journey through the rugged terrain of the mountains.
By documenting these specific routes, the series explores the intersection of geography and access to education in some of China's most isolated regions.
