The Tree of Knowledge
Set in Huehuetla, Puebla, a Totonac Indian community in East Central Mexico, this documentary contrasts two systems of education. The public school system uses patriotic symbols to "integrate" Indian pupils into the national culture while teaching them to reject their own identity.
