Most Dangerous Ways To School: Philippines, Colombia & Bolivia

Three episodes from the long-running series follow children whose commute to class is a survival exercise. In the Philippines, kids cross rivers and scramble along cliff paths to reach a schoolhouse hours from home. In Colombia, the film follows children navigating mountain terrain and unstable infrastructure to get to class, weighing the risk against the alternative of no education at all. The Bolivia segment tracks students crossing high-altitude Andean routes, thin air and steep drops included, sometimes on foot for hours before the first lesson starts. Each segment is shot on location with the children and their families, showing the walk itself rather than narrating it from a studio, and letting parents explain why they still send their kids out into these conditions every morning. Camera crews follow the same routes the children take, capturing river crossings, rope bridges, and switchback trails firsthand. The throughline across all three countries is the same: a chance at literacy and a different future is worth the risk of the road.
