Granito de Arena is a story of resistance--the story of hundreds of thousands of public schoolteachers whose grassroots, non-violent movement took Mexico by surprise, and who have endured brutal repression in their 25-year struggle for social and economic justice in Mexico's public schools. The film gives voice to the increasing number of teachers who believe their movement is in crisis and who are exploring community-based alternatives in their struggle to defend public education.

Featuring a driving soundtrack by DJ Food, Slowrider, PlanB, and Los Mocosos, Granito de Arena fuels indignation, inspires action, and raises important questions about democracy, sovereignty, and the universal right to public education.
