Don't miss the World Premiere of YOUTH PRODUCING CHANGE as teen filmmakers turn the camera on their own lives and invite audiences to experience the world as they do - as a Kenyan teenager living in Africa's second largest slum, as a 15-year-old girl in India who needs to chose between supporting her family or getting an education or as a 14-year-old Afghan seeking asylum after his father was killed by the Taliban. Film program run time: 72 min. Discussion with filmmakers from Kenya, United Kingdom, Los Angeles, San Antonio and New York to follow. Founding Presenter: Adobe Youth Voices.

"I am proud. This film will open the eyes of the world; it's like a chain, every link is a person. Every person has a story to tell. In the end we all connect and are one. We must think this way to be able to make a change and be the change." -Alexandre Oakes Camara, filmmaker of "GROWING UP IN INDIA"
