SHORT FOR SHORT - BEING BRAVE

In these short films, we accompany courageous heroes and heroines
as they face their fears. We learn that courage means much more than not being afraid. It's about meeting new friends, finding your own strengths and being there for each other. Let's discover together how brave we can all be!
