Let the Child Be the Guide (2017)

Director and young father Alexandre Mourot watched his daughter have her own world experience. Curious about the coming school, he decided to photograph a class of children aged 3 to 6 from the oldest Montessori School (Montessori school) in France. In a warm room full of flowers, fruit and many materials, Alexander met with free activities and participating children who could work alone or with others in a surprisingly calm atmosphere. The master is very cautious. Everyone reads, bakes, splits, laughs or sleeps in class. Over the past year, the director has filmed the implementation of this method of self-government and self-esteem education that Maria Montessori (Maria Montessori) achieved in anger in the first half of the 20th century, as the hope of a new peaceful and free society.
