SYNOPSIS

Filmmakers Mike Hawley and Darcy Van Poelgeest dive into a critical discussion with some of British Columbia's leading experts on the Ethics of Care theory, a basis for ethical decision-making. Dare to Care challenges our basic perceptions of education and the role ethical caring plays in our schools and the greater community.

Blending uniquely styled interviews with black and white imagery and archival educational films, this documentary visually blurs the line between past and present while provoking a new dialogue over the age-old question, "What is education"?
