The Open Window
by Daniel Oxenhandler, Will Sloan, Alfred Birkegaard (Denmark, USA, India, 2018, 58′).
While India is running against time to allow all its population to surf online, Deepa and Jaya – two young girls from a poor neighborhood in Delhi – are introduced to the Internet for the first time through an online learning workshop at their school. Their time in the lab opens up a whole universe of new ideas, possibilities and perspectives, and gives them new ways of thinking about school, about themselves.
