Generation Impact: The Coder
Jay Jay Patton was only 13 when she designed and built Photo Patch, a mobile app to help kids send photos and letters to parents who are incarcerated. The app was inspired by Jay Jay’s own experience; her dad was in prison for five years and it was difficult to communicate with him as much as she wanted.

Our Days in Dongshi
Dongshi is a coastal township in Taiwan, famous for its fresh fish and sweet, fat oysters. Local children learn to be independent from an early age, not only cooking for themselves, but also helping their parents out, only enjoying themselves after work is done. They love riding around together on their bicycles and sometimes play by the embankment, watching the sunset and enjoying the rare leisure time.
Ball for All
Refusing to allow his Cerebral Palsy diagnosis to diminish his competitive nature and desire to play sports, Nick Weiss paved his own path, ultimately inspiring other youth to do the same. This is his story.
BrownWhite
From the perspective of Israeli biracial kids, BrownWhite explores how skin color influences the development of identity. Weaving their lived experiences with findings from academic research, the film reveals their dilemmas around identity in a world that's more complicated than brown or white.
Brave Girl: The Future of Wyoming
Brave Girl is a young adventurer who is just beginning her journey of finding out what it takes to climb mountains. Even though she’s only 6, she has an unwavering ambition to climb the biggest mountains in the world, starting with the ones in her backyard in Wyoming.

Rocks 4 Sale!
A slice-of-life look at how kids in the former mining town of Silverton, Colorado stay busy in the summer by “mining” and selling rocks to tourists. Through this time-honored rite of passage, these “rock stars” learn history, social skills, and become little entrepreneurs.
Closed captions available
Abby
Cerebral palsy keeps Abby's body and speaking voice from working as she'd like them to. She has a profound love for all animals, however, and dedicates herself to nonverbally training and communicating with dogs. Abby's animals understand her well; better, in fact, than many people.
