By centering the experiences and voices of those directly affected by the charity's work, I hoped to humanize the issue of poverty and inspire viewers to take action in their own communities. I believe that by bearing witness to the resilience, strength, and humanity of the individuals featured in the documentary, audiences will be moved to engage more deeply with the issues explored and become agents of positive transformation in the world.
