'We all live the same problems and now the world is in the highest peak of interconnectedness.'

This is an inspiring film that represents many voices:

"How can we create a society in which creativity is inevitable and becomes really the force through which we build our collective future? The question that we need to ask ourself is really, can creativity change the world?"

"...A freedom struggle by its nature is profoundly creative. It's transforming society, imagination, a sense of who you are, but sometimes the mechanisms to achieve liberation become very narrow, stilted, formulaic."

"...So in this sense, really, creativity, you know, it is not something that is just an extra, it is the fundamental engine, you know, that can move the world forward."

"...I think the conventional interventions underestimate the power of creativity. It allows people to inhabit other people's shoes. It allows a space for magic."
