Theme: The power of One

In one word: EMPOWERMENT. Mexican youth needs to see itself as a resource and not merely an audience in order to realize their full potential. Our country needs them. They are an asset, but in order for the older generations to see them as such, they need to first aknowledge it themselves. This shall be a journey of self-discovery through other people and their stories.
