The Small School is a documentary about the consequences of the crisis and the economic cuts in the education sector. I have tried to show some of the effects on a smaller scale by doing the follow up of a specific case: the closing of the Can Montllor School. This school is situated in Terrassa (30 km from Barcelona) and it’s a referent for the innovation in educational methods and pioneer in the use of new educational methodologies. With images of their daily life, images from the protests and interviews with people that are related to the school, I wanted to recount the closing and also explain why it’s important to keep the Can Montllor School Project alive.
