Little did they know that the school’s board of directors had run up over $320,000US in debt and would use the student’s future as payment.</span></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />In a small neighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina, Saint Jean is one of the only non-catholic schools that offers Kindergarten through high school class, a school for mentally and physically challenged students, and an undergraduate night school. Despite its 40 years of service to the community, it might be sold and closed forever, leaving its 1,200 students behind.</span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br /><br />Watch as the students defend their school, mobilize a community and demand that their voices be heard. They eat, sleep and organize their campaign in the school, but ensure that classes continue. In a country that has been robbed of everything, their fight to save Saint Jean is a movement to preserve education as a human right.</span>Mindful Mediahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03739775984630934872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497275562478705332.post-87697109904427297872005-08-06T00:06:00.000-07:002010-01-14T11:21:11.210-08:00About the Filmmakers<h2 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal;font-family:arial;" class="title" ><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><a href="http://mindfulmediacollective.blogspot.com/">Mindful Media</a></span> is a <span style="font-size:+0;">collective of filmmakers committed to creating social change</span> by producing and distributing raw, humanistic and inspiring <span style="font-size:+0;">documentary films. </span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">Using a <span style="font-size:+0;">grassroots network</span> of educators, community groups, and activists organizations, we seek to engage audiences and inspire <span style="font-size:+0;">meaningful dialog of global issues</span>.</span></h2><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGHC9JLa1MDmHH0I1BptUnkX5sZtmmGKOZIUqpnRYD6JIxUgLyoyJ8HKSrk6nUQCHHrIDq-GWfoFbdGNNnv8qaCUVxJg6NmoUQ5CHoAdG5r46mAf5xsr5JHGczIyimkM7ITQIFJ8PeDl66/s1600-h/Picture+19.png"></a><strong style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)" face="arial"></strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="COLOR: rgb(51,255,255)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,204,204)">Michael McLean</span><span style="COLOR: rgb(0,204,204)">,</span> </span>25, has recently returned to his home state of New Jersey, USA, after a year of filming in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
