    Schools with no teachers, no buildings, no drinking water, no electricity and overflowing with garbage–this is what so many students of public schools in Pakistan look forward to. Little wonder that a vast majority of the country's primary-school graduates are not even considered literate by international standards. All the while, a corrupt hierarchy of officials and school staff line their pockets with funds meant for the children's education–and no one is held accountable. This is the story of a generation lost, and of a country where basic education remains a distant dream for millions.
    Pakistan, 2005, directed by Syed Ali Nasir; 30 minutes.

    The Traveling Film South Asia Festival, a three-day film festival, is composed of 13 documentaries covering such diverse topics as politics, art, culture, globalization, natural disasters, environment, gender, urbanization, labor relations, the Partition, entertainment and history and features films from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

    Sponsored by International Programs, Asian Studies and the I.D.E.A. Space.
