Dove Review

“Going to School in India” is a fabulous DVD that includes nine mini movies about the various types of schools and lifestyles in India. It is packed from beginning to end with facts about Indian life and culture. Each section displays the immense poverty of the country, but the focus is instead on the importance of a good education. Although the Indian accent can be at times difficult to understand, using children to narrate the movies is an excellent touch.

This movie is probably a little long to view in one sitting, but it would be a wonderful teaching tool in a classroom or for home school use. Because it goes into so much detail about Indian culture, there are several references to various gods and a belief in magic. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie as did my children. Dove excitedly gives its approval for “Going to School in India”.
