Prestige

The reaction of the Galician society, which decides to star their own history in, and the impressive voluntary movement. One of the biggest and the most honorable comunitary demonstration from the first World. But, is any of that spirit there? What happened with the main characters? When it seems that nobody cares about the sunken ship in the ocean floor, people whose lives were marked speak again using the serenity and the learning that the passing of time has given them.
Aprendiendo a vivir

Learning to Live

Documentary
In a Latin American extremily-violent neighborhood, Sara has created a centre for street children. They play football there and they learn to shape a video documenary up which shows their own view of the world moving them away from their street problems.
In Galicia, a group of volunteers help marginalized kids, out of the oficial education system, and they teach them how to realize documentaries, providing them a way of life, analysis and social integration.
Both experiences are interweaved promoting colective work and intercultural dialogues since they put in touch communities from different countries around a common topic.
