a| The Mulberry Bush School in Oxford is an institutional educational facility for mentally and emotionally disturbed children of school age. In an environment created to resemble a home, some 40 such kids are looked after by over 100 members of staff. The film's title points to the school's approach: the aim is to help traumatised children to control their aggression and express their feelings free of stress and psychological impediments. Therapists try to inculcate an understanding of the rules of society, as well as giving their charges the confidence to return to their lives and to school. Over several months, the renowned filmmaker Kim Longinotto follows the painful and difficult daily struggle for the future of the school's young patients. It is a striking film which makes use of nimble camera–work and an electrifying story–telling style, free of interventions and questions from the director. An authentic portrayal of the fragility of psychologically disturbed childhood, it brings to mind the legendary direct–cinema film Warrendale (1966). The One World Festival has in the past presented several pictures by Longinotto, including Divorce Iranian Style.
