I think the School in this film is a great thing, but I had trouble sitting through the narration, and bailed from the last few minutes to avoid the self-congratulatory crescendo the writers were building toward. Even though I agree with the cause, this mode of presentation is the epitome of the kind of moral pride that leads to moral error. Nationalism was once considered a good idea, but this kind of self-righteousness was part of the path to that led to the evils done in its name. Religion has been subject to the same kind of thing. Most every age's progressive ideas turn into the models of evil of the next. The problem lies in the lack of moral modesty that comes when people so unquestionngly convince themselves that they're fighting the ONE GOOD FIGHT that they can afford to dispense with moral modesty. The anti-Western Westerners in charge of the film (not the school) are among the groups carrying the torch of moral self-congratulation today, and it's nauseating to watch. The next episode in the series is just as bad.
There's no escape from the problem of being human.

I certainly hope this will be enough to prevent these unique people from ending up casualities of western influence as the Native Americans, Africans, Central and South Americans.They somehow managed to retain all native teachers and instructors, which in itself is a remarkable achievment considering usually the dominating force of western/European politics will position their people in such key positions. Also bringing with them western TVs and other media to start the all important white washing effect.This is truley a remarkable experiment and I look forward to monitoring the results.
At this point however, I can imagine how impressionable the system is and I fear the house of cards may collapse in the disturbances of the ever nearing white tourists and Chinese politics.

Very good show, and i think Brad Pitt is host?

Forward thinking, well made, and set on the edge of modernity.
