Sayama
Teaching Between Worlds
(coming soon)

"Sayama (Teaching Between Worlds)" is a raw, intimate documentary, created by the documentary filmaker Mr Alex Johnson and The Inclusive Edcation Foundation that ventures into the lives of migrant teachers, individuals who have chosen a career path defined by systemic precarity, meager compensation, and the constant shadow of displacement. Through deeply personal interviews, these educators reveal the profound "why" behind their persistence: a unwavering belief that education is the only bridge to a future for children caught between nations. The film juxtaposes these grassroots narratives with expert insights from local stakeholders and international education advocates, mapping the friction between global policy and the localized reality of the Thai-Myanmar border. It challenges the audience to look past the statistics of "displaced persons" to see the intellectual and emotional labor required to sustain hope in a crisis zone. This documentary is not just a study of educational challenges; it is a testament to the radical act of teaching as a form of resistance. Join us for a screening that promises to shift your perspective on what it truly means to be a "teacher" in the modern world.

This film parallels the filmmaker’s journey into the vast and beautiful world of coral reefs. The voyage begins with curiosity: what lies beneath the ocean’s surface? This childlike curiosity soon encounters both extraordinary beauty and an intimidating cliffside. This beauty is visual in the sheer magnificence of the coral and the ecosystem built around it. However, it is also physical in the ways our reefs benefit us and our planet. The cliffside, however, is the depressing reality that our reefs are dying. This film aims to detail the causes of this destruction and provide a framework upon which we can look to the future.
