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 June and the start of a new school year at Kalmadi H...igh School. For 14 year-old Ashutosh this is the eighth new school he has attended in almost as many years - following his father's engineering job as it has taken him around India and the world. We experience the familiar agonies of trying to fit in, make new friends and pick up the power politics of the playground. In contrast, some self-assured 16 year olds are running for election as prefects.
