Rainbow Troops (Mandarin Edition) 

《天虹战队小学》



Ikal is a student at the poorest village school, which is under constant threat of closure. Ikal and his friends—a group nicknamed the Rainbow Troops—face threats from every angle: skeptical government officials, greedy corporations hardly distinguishable from the colonialism they’ve replaced, deepening poverty and crumbling infrastructure, and their own low self-confidence.But the students also have hope.



《天虹战队小学》讲述了一个励志故事：在南太平洋上，有专为穷人而建的学校，条件简陋，资源匮乏，破洞比砖瓦还多。下雨天，老师要撑着香蕉叶上课，校长要卖菜为学生买课本，天才学生每天得游过鳄鱼栖息地上学，最有艺术细胞的孩子用零成本打造狂欢节演出……但他们的老师，拒绝了“前途美好”的工作，到这里教书。没有工资，靠做针线活赚取生活费。孩子们和老师一起，为了理想向命运宣战，亲身践行那句古老的格言：“那些没把你击垮的，最终只会让你更强大。”
