Alive in Baghdad “Challenges at a Girl’s School in Baghdad” 5/21/2007 http://aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/05/21/challenges-at-a-girls-school-in-baghdad
The video talks about the challenges girls face coming to school during the war. They talk to the principal of the school, various students, and a few teachers. The principal in particular was wearing a white shall over her head and a red dress. Her office was very plain, and so were the classrooms. The outside of the school was tan and had a wire fence around it. It looks like it was located in a city because there were lots of other building close to it. From watching this video viewers learn #1 how important school is to these young girls and #2 and the challenges they face on their way to get to the school. Some girls can’t make it to school on certain days because their is a road block, or there has been an explosion in their town and their parents are too scared to send them. The most memorable thing i heard was when one girl was asked if she was ever asked by her parents to quit school, and she said yes that he parents have wanted her to quit for a while now but she won’t because her studies are very important to her.
