Opening Our Eyes • 1h 1m
Every day….All around the world…
Ordinary people are doing extraordinary things. They are making a difference in the lives of others – and themselves.
Mother/daughter filmmakers, circle the globe on a 99-day journey, seeking people who are making a positive difference in the world. They find remarkable people who are showing the world how to inspire others and create positive change - through the power of ONE.
This film tells the stories of nine change makers on six continents who are making our world a better place.
Meet some of these amazing people:
• Maggie – a 19-year-old on a post-high school “gap year,” who built a home in Nepal for 30 orphans… using her saved babysitting earnings! She now lives there, and has recently completed construction on a school for 250 children.
• David– a physician who trekked into Thailand’s remote northern hill-tribe villages, offering medical care where there is no doctor.
• Ronni – a successful event planner, who saw good food being dumped daily, and started a food rescue program. She got Australian law changed, and now saves food from waste while feeding the hungry.
• Maureen & Marian – Displaced autoworkers who are fighting for basic human rights in the declining neighborhoods of inner city Detroit.
