The work tackles the social and educational intervention with children who live in high risk situations. The documentary identifies the causes for vulnerability that cause exclusion and the shortages of a sector of society abandoned by the institutions and public policies. It points out the main necessities and it provides tools to fight them through significant learning and non-formal syllabus. Education, collaborative strategies and motivation become allies against scarcity in these territories. Despite all these shortages, the documentary manages to show a positive outlook of the children who live there, of their capacities, their potential and their dreams to reach a prosper horizon.

Social Work students also took part in this short before the socio cultural intervention. They were in charge of running a prior diagnostic to outline the potentialities of a neighbourhood under a constant high risk.

 The festival has its headquarters in Madrid and secondary venues in Argentina, Canada, Mexico, Ecuador, Bolivia and Mauritania, amongst others. The festival has received 950 proposals from 69 countries and it comprises three categories: feature films, medium-length films and short films. The other short-listed short films were “Clash of Morality” (USA), “No Right” (Franco-Chilean production), “Dollhouse” (Iran) and “Cajamarca: El viaje del desengaño” (Colombia).

The organisation of the festival will screen the winners in more than 50 countries’ movie theatres all around the world. You can watch the documentary here.
