This month's film is The Making of a Japanese.

Tsukado, located in Tokyo’s sprawling suburbs, is one of the largest public elementary schools in Japan. In the nation’s unique educational system, children are tasked to run their own school in order to teach communal values and how to play one’s role in the group. Intimately capturing one school year from the perspective of 1st and 6th graders, The Making of a Japanese has the magic of childhood with precious moments of joy, tears, and discovery – as they learn the traits necessary to become part of Japanese society.
