Synopsis
“Quererla es crearla” is a documentary about a right, a necessity, a desire, a political commitment, and a possibility: making it possible for all people to learn to live together in schools. Building inclusive societies requires dismantling the prejudices we hold about diversity and differences, for which we need to re-examine the schools where some students do not fit, are mistreated and segregated, while the rest learn to see discrimination as correct and desirable.
The film reflects on this reality through various intersecting stories in defense of the right to inclusive education. It begins with the case of Rubén Calleja, who was expelled from his primary school and forced to be educated in a special education center, something his family refused to accept. After years of legal struggle, Rubén obtains the support of the United Nations, with a pioneering ruling against the Spanish education system. Inclusive education is a fundamental right, which enables the possibility of participating in the world.
Rubén’s story is the common thread of other struggles, deeper and more complex than the legal one, shared by a group of students and their families: those related to socially shared ideologies, culture, policies, and school practices, which strongly discriminate based on ability, social origin, gender, ethnicity, health, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. But which also harm those who do not fit into those categories, because no one can conform to the normality that schools serve. Against the backdrop of a struggle that must be shared by the entire population, this group of people shows the need to escape their unbearable oppressive situations, while also introducing us to the everyday, simple, and exciting dreams of any person, their actions to make them a reality, the small things that make up daily life… But above all, the film is the testimony of a collective movement: inclusion is not something distant and unattainable, but a real experience that many people live today, which deepens diversity and, therefore, our human nature.
