Dreaming of a Diploma - South Korea

Synopsis

Ilsung Women's Middle and High School is not an ordinary school. The average age of the students is 61. Many of these women missed out on the chance of an education during childhood because of poverty. Learning to read and write so late in life presents many challenges, but the students make up for that with hard work and a hunger to learn. In this program, we join them as they pursue their dreams of higher education.
