In honor of this year's theme, "Resilient by Nature," the films in this session showcase how humans are able to draw on our strengths, talents, and lived experiences to innovate and inspire positive change for a better world. We look to nature itself as a model for resiliency, which shows us that we can not only withstand hardship, but also regenerate and thrive.

"Tengefu" is the Swahili word for "protected marine area." Abubakar spends his days dreaming about corals.
