De Platoschool plot

Filmmaker Yara Hannema is a child of the Plato School. An Amsterdam primary school that was founded in 1983 by people with special spiritual and philosophical ideals. The students learned, among other things, Sanskrit, Indian dance and philosophy; with the intention of “growing a higher consciousness”. Are these kinds of ideals a good basis for education? Thirteen years after its foundation, the school was discredited because children were beaten there. Teachers were convicted for this and eventually the school had to close its doors. In the documentary, Yara reconstructs the events.
