This year CODENI collaborated with the
International Center for Research and Policy on Childhood (CIESPI for its
initials in Portuguese, www.ciespi.org.br), in the production of a documentary
about youth who have lived on the streets in Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro.
The film was produced by Brazilian filmmaker Thereza Jessouroun, and paid for
by The Fetzer Institute.
The documentary was first shown in Fetzer’s
Global Gathering in Assisi, Italy on September 20, 2012. In Mexico the film
premiered at the National Forum of the Mexican Alliance of Street Populations
on November 16th. In this event, one of the film’s main protagonists from
Mexico City commented on the problems of discrimination and human rights
violations faced by street populations and answered questions after the
showing.
The
Fetzer Institute (www.fetzer.org) engages with people from around the world to
foster awareness of the power of love, forgiveness and compassion in our global
community. This documentary was produced
as a nonprofit project with the purpose of promoting a change of consciousness
towards street populations, by showing how love and forgiveness have impacted
their lives.

film’s trailer can be viewed through the following link and copies are
