It’s never too late!
A very inspiring real-life story of Maruge, an 84 year old man who wishes to learn how to read and write, & who holds the Guinness World Record for being the oldest man ever to start primary education. I have always believed that the best gift you can give anyone is to teach them how to read & write. In the same spirit, I believe that primary school teachers have the hardest jobs and unfortunately, their enormous contribution is largely ignored in most, if not all, societies.So clearly, the subject matter is very close to my heart and therefore, I sat to watch the movie hoping that it would make a point without being too preachy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the movie accomplishes just that! On the negative side, the movie may seem too simplistic, but therein lies the beauty of this film.
And the children! They were such a joy to watch! So full of life and energy!
