Eine Familie in ärmlichen Verhältnissen in Wyoming ermöglicht dem ältesten Sohn unter harten Opfern ein Studium.

Mit einem Revolver im Gepäck kommt ein fremder nach Wetherby. Zielstrebig verschafft sich der Todessüchtige Zutritt zur Dinnerparty der alleinstehenden Lehrerin Jean Travers ( Vanessa Redgrave ) . Mit der Pistole im Mund pustet er sich am anderen Tag vor ihren Augen das Hirn aus dem Kopf.

Der plötzlich brutale Gewaltakt löst Verwirrung aus. Wer war John Morgan ? Niemand hat ihn je zuvor gesehen jeder nahm vom anderen an, dass er ihn eingeladen hätte. Die Antwort, ein Geschehen, das auch den Kommissar betrifft, tickt wie eine Zeitbombe, die der Todesengel mit dem Revolver ausgelöst hat. Schließlich von dem Inspektor und den eigenen Ängsten in die Enge getrieben, beginnt eine Frau die volle Wahrheit zu sagen.....

Sujatha, mother of a teenaged girl, nurses a dream to educate her daughter by doing multiple jobs at houses and factories. However, her daughter Athira doesn't take education seriously, believing that being the off spring of a domestic help, she too will end up the same. A dismayed Sujatha is on the lookout for ways to rouse Athira's competitive spirit.

If you wanted to change an ancient culture in a generation, how would you do it? You would change the way it educates its children. The U.S. Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools. Today, volunteers build schools in traditional societies around the world, convinced that school is the only way to a 'better' life for indigenous children. But is this true? What really happens when we replace a traditional culture's way of learning and understanding the world with our own? SCHOOLING THE WORLD takes a challenging, sometimes funny, ultimately deeply disturbing look at the effects of modern education on the world's last sustainable indigenous cultures.
