”Alphabet” by Erwin Wagenhofer
The way we shape the world we live in largly depends on how we have been socialised and educated. The “alphabet” that has been imposed on us determines the way we deal with our surroundings. This film tackles the topics of education, mis-education or the lack of education and touches on the possibility to do things differently. The film will arrive in the cinemas in October 2013 and will be exclusively previewed in Alpbach.
