A decade ago, Colombian grade-school teacher Luis Soriano, from the rural village of la Gloria, was inspired to begin spending 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 in Colombia. 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. This event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent nonfiction film series on PBS. (www.pbs.org/pov)
