Students Strike, Chile. 2006.

Students from all over the country leave their classrooms for weeks, to protest against the old and lousy general education laws ruling since decades, and to claim to the goverment for a total reform in the subject.

Today, 2008, those students finished highschool, but now their little brothers are the ones walking the streets, cause virtually nothing has changed since they started the revolution.

    Hehe...
    Debby, the girls take cover when the fight begins...and thats clever enough if you ask me, cause after every one of this marchs the place ends up looking like warzone.
