DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Ken Loach United Kingdom

His films like 'Kes' and 'Sweet Sixteen' penetrate the social realities of school life and educational inequality with documentary-like authenticity.

His semi-autobiographical 'The 400 Blows' and 'Small Change' capture the emotional complexity and poetic truth of childhood and school experiences.

 Hirokazu Koreeda Japan

Films like 'Like Father, Like Son' and 'Shoplifters' explore the profound ways schools shape identity, belonging, and moral development in society.
