Reading what your day needs...
A moment to slow down
Two seconds each. Gone before they were anyone.
We made the opposite. You watch, you wait, you wonder.
The videos with no words. You actually have to pay attention to get the understanding. The scenery, how the routine of their life just goes on. It just speaks. It speaks a lot.

A note from us
We made wordless films because words pre-decide what to feel. We did not want to tell children what to think about Chetan, the blind musician in Mumbai who calls himself an artist. We wanted them to watch him, then ask the question themselves.
We wrote the stories in first person because the people in our films deserve to speak for themselves. Not about them. From them.
And we built only what felt true, slowly, because each life is worth the time. The world does not need more content. It needs more attention.

I asked my class today, what do you like about the videos. They told me: we love learning about different people. We love seeing where they are. We want to know more about their lives. That is a curiosity you cannot always get. You can ask a kid to sit next to somebody in their school and get to know them, but it might not happen. By practicing this way, they become more receptive. More excited.

In their own words
Each story written from their interview, in their own words.
I never imagined I would one day raise twins, and it certainly hasn't been easy.
I am a part of an indigenous Maya group of people called the Tzu'tujil, and we live in the Lake Atitlán region of Guatemala.
I felt differently, and I wondered what would happen if others felt the same.
I figured out early in my life that I learn best when I can experiment and try things out on my own, rather than by being told what to think.
I was 15 years old at the time, and I only had one summer to adjust to the new culture before starting school.
I am one of the oldest, so it is my job to make sure my cousins don't do something that will end in someone getting hurt.
I was about 6 years old when this happened, and my job was to make sure that my step-father had enough to eat.
I can't play any instruments, but I believe God gave me a mouth that produces diverse sounds.
I am Congolese, which means I am from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Real people. Real lives, shared with us.
