Who says being a kid is easy?
The young people in these films must overcome all kinds of challenges,
big and small, to follow their dreams. Meet a non-gender-conforming kid
who finds courage in a new friendship, a boy who discovers the healing
power of art, a child who finds a wily way to lure a teacher to his
town, a girl who overcomes her fear of strange food, and a boy and his
father who form a bond over a simple Japanese dish. This program
concludes with a documentary about a talented young Iraqi refugee,
living in Lebanon, and a film from Puerto Rico that will urges youth to
look up from their screens, and see the beautiful world around them.
