Director Statement

With our film, we wanted to show how one person, thanks to dedication, love for his work and dream, can take on such huge challenges and go against the system, without breaking it, but improving it from the inside. I was very inspired by our hero, his goals and desire to change the situation in his country step by step, starting with a small school in a distant village. Such people change the world and us, I would like people to see this film and also be inspired and help our world change for the better, each in his own way.
