Description
This fast-paced documentary series follows a remarkable year in two contrasting schools in Pune, one of the world's fastest growing cities. It's August and monsoon rains pour on Pune. This is the t...ime for the annual English debating competition. In a world of IT booms and globalisation, English is increasingly becoming vital for success. We follow two of Kalmadi's brightest pupils, Prem and Sahil, as they battle it out to be the top English language debater in town. The judges have set an appropriate topic to debate in upwardly mobile Pune: "Is India losing its identity in a globalised world?" On the one hand it's a story of youthful ambition and rivalry; on the other it's about acquiring the skills to get on in this brave new world.
