Sideways

Simonka de Jong / Documentary / In development

Sideways follows people that have consciously chosen to trade in their old careers for a new turn in their lives. They worked in completely different sectors (for example in the banking world, in aviation or in corporate business) and decided that they want to teach instead, often resulting from an idealistic worldview. We follow the transition from their old and familiar lives towards their exciting and challenging new experiences of standing in front of a classroom at a primary school.
