National Exams

Nana Mgaloblishvili is a Kartvelian (Georgian) language teacher at a parish school in western Sakartvelo. On April 9, 1989, during the bloody suppression of a peaceful demonstration for Sacartvelo's independence by the Soviet Russian army, she narrowly escaped death but was severely poisoned. Nana's lessons bring the past into the present, where literature and history meet the realities of today. In her classroom, knowledge becomes both a lesson and a prophecy, guiding her students as they prepare for their national exams.
