"Biblioburro" is the story of a librarian — and a library — like no
other. A decade ago, Colombian grade-school teacher Luis Soriano was
inspired to spend his weekends bringing a modest collection of precious
books, via two hard-working donkeys, to the children of Magdalena
Province’s poor and violence-ridden interior. As Soriano braves armed
bands, drug traffickers, snakes and heat, his library on hooves carries
an inspirational message about education and a better future for
Colombia. His simple yet extraordinary effort has attracted worldwide
attention — and imitators — but his story has never been better told
than in this heartwarming yet unsentimental film. A co-presentation with
Latino Public Broadcasting.
