The First Grader (2010)
In a small Kenyan village, an 84-year-old Mau Mau veteran, Kimani Maruge, hears a radio announcement that the government is offering free primary education to all. He arrives at the local school, determined to learn to read for the first time in his life. The head teacher, Jane Obinchu, is moved by his plea, but his presence causes controversy among parents and officials who believe he is wasting a child’s spot. Maruge must fight for his right to an education, his past as a freedom fighter fueling his present battle.
