Sinopsis

What happens when you hand a camera to a community and ask them 'Who are you?’
Every reality, even the smallest, is a world in itself and reveals the broader human experience.

Pope Francis calls on prominent figures in cinema to transform culture through the film language. This time, however, the big stories will emerge from small villages. We will explore film production processes from remote villages around the world, showcasing small yet significant stories written, produced, acted in, and directed by the villagers themselves, with the participation of an internationally acclaimed actor and the special involvement of Pope Francis.
