Plot

Freedom Requires Free People is a documentary about eight-year-old Jens’s experiences at a Norwegian primary school. Jens is frank in his disgruntlement about being forced to follow prescribed rules, describing strategies that he employs in his pursuit of freedom. For him, going to school and being told what to do is ‘like being in hell… it’s like being in Ancient Egypt when they built those bloody pyramids.’ Long regarded as a leading example of liberal policy in practice, Scandinavian schools have been used as an ideal educational model in several foreign countries. Jens’s anarchistic questioning of their rules raises broader questions of critical thinking within educational systems and society as a whole.
