| Summary: | Mary Walsh Farmer has been teaching history for 17 years to junior high school students in Illinois, in a racially integrated community that values and celebrates its multiculturalism. Mary often uses this diversity as a resource for her lesson content. With her students she explores international struggles for human rights, by demonstrating personal loss of power and privileges within the classroom and setting up a world court to hear cases for revolutions worldwide. She tries to spark their interest and create excitement about learning history by involving them in a personal and fun way, because she says that if you don't know history you are condemned to repeat the same mistakes. A co-production between NHK Japan, KBS Korea, TVO La Chaine Canada, WTTW Chicago,YLE Finland, Channel 2 Polish Television and Film Australia.
