Documentarian Nicholas Philibert (In the Land of the Deaf) takes an intimate look inside a one-room schoolhouse in rural Auverge, France, where a lone instructor teaches several grades at once with an unparalleled devotion and sensitivity. Humorous and touching, To Be and To Have sheds important light on a supposedly antiquated educational system and made the teacher who kept it alive and well, George Lopez, an international celebrity for his tireless work. The highest grossing documentary in French history and winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at the 2003 Full Frame Documentary Festival. In French with English subtitles.
