The World We Want documents the inspirational stories of teenage activists deeply engaged in changing their communities and countries throughout the world. Shot on location in Bosnia, Herzegovina, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Russia, Senegal and the United States, the students propose changes in their communities that include banning teenage gambling, fighting taxation, creating a town constitution, and securing clean drinking water. The film documents these young citizens’ struggles to convince local and national leaders to enact their proposed legislation. This profoundly inspiring film captures the dedication, determination and empowerment of the teenagers’ experience as they work together toward their common goals.
