The Experiment

At Pablo Carbonell High School, tension has been simmering. Students are dissatisfied with an intensive programme that prepares them for the national standardised tests. It does not take into account their needs and interests and it takes up all their free time. The kids go on strike and they manage to get the principal to authorise an unusual experiment run by the students that puts the school to the test. However, everything gets out of control, and the school ends up occupied by a group of kids who want to impose by force a new educational model. What starts as a slow but growing discontent becomes an experiment in coexistence, citizenship and education for the whole school. This is one of the first fiction series made by a public channel in Colombia. Natural actors mix with professional actors.
