Heartfelt, but a squandered opportunity to insightfully tackle an important human rights issue.

NYC Movie Guru
The swelling score gives the sense of an inspirational children's movie. True to that form, "On the Way to School" never wavers in its bland uplift.

Despite its earnest message, Plisson's documentary remains mostly on the surface of its subject matter.

Hollywood Reporter
Though aimed at children, this 2013 French documentary is the sort of direct, expressive, and compassionate filmmaking that can be appreciated by anyone.

Chicago Reader
Dispensing with any heated rhetoric about the sorry state of education, director Pascal Plisson instead allows this quartet of beautifully photographed incredible journeys speak inspirational volumes.

Product Description:
Pascal Plisson's documentary ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL profiles four students from various far-flung places around the world who must traverse inhospitable conditions in order to go to school every single day. The film focuses on students in Kenya, Patagonia, the Atlas Mountains, and the Bay of Bengal, and shows how happy the students are to be able to go to school at all.
