Primary

"Primary" is a documentary film that addresses the Catholic Education in the City of Buenos Aires, during the first government of President Carlos Menem.

To do so, the Director tells in first person what he lived in a Catholic Primary School between 1989 and 1995.

Through illustrations, photos, files, VHSs, interviews with family members and former classmates; the director seeks to articulate how neoliberal politics became educational doctrines, and how they impacted on his subjectivity.
