In Nepal, one entrepreneur sets out to tackle illiteracy by building a network of private schools that charge families roughly a dollar a month, an amount low enough for even poor households to afford. The film follows his effort to prove that low-cost private education can outperform the country's underfunded public system, tracking classrooms, teachers, and the children who now attend school because the price barrier finally came down. Interviews with parents and staff lay out the math behind the model: what it costs to run a school on almost nothing, and what changes when a child who would otherwise be working or idle gets a seat in a classroom instead. The film treats the dollar-school idea as a real experiment in scaling access to education in a country where illiteracy has stayed stubbornly high, without pretending the approach is a finished solution.
