4 Filipino Teachers in Baltimore got a Film [VIDEO]

Another must-see film from Ramona Diaz, The Learning, Ramona Diaz’s latest film broadcast across the US via Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) starting last Sept. 21 (Sept. 22 Manila Time).

From PBS:

One hundred years ago, American teachers established the English-speaking public school system of the Philippines. Now, in a striking turnabout, American schools are recruiting Filipino teachers. The Learning is the story of four Filipina women who reluctantly leave their families and schools to teach in Baltimore. With their increased salaries, they hope to transform their families’ lives back in their impoverished country. But the women also bring idealistic visions of the teacher’s craft and of life in America, which soon collide with Baltimore’s tough realities.
