Summary: A new high school teacher brings turmoil to a rural Cameroonian village when he introduces sex education and vocational training into the curriculum. He also starts agricultural and marketing cooperatives for villagers that the students work on as part of their education. The local authorities however, including the store owner and school’s headmaster, are alarmed by the teacher’s radical actions and have him imprisoned.
