KUKI 05 Watch the World - Documentary Competition for Children aged 10+

The children and teenagers in this program have HUGE dreams! Zusia endeavours to pull off acrobatic formations on horseback and Si-G longs to perform on the world’s biggest stages. While all Safa wishes for is peace, Sils and Merlijn want to find out what kids feel elsewhere. And all the while there are children around us who simply yearn for sincere attention and empathy. These films show us that aspirations are always worth striving for.
