People from around the world will be featured in video portraits, sharing with the audience what’s essential in their lives. This could be a story that’s made a lasting impression on them ... somebody who is essential in their lives ... an event that might have shaped them irrevocably ... what they really long most for. We want to make a documentary of someone's life in a one-minute take.
