Watch Ian - A Moving Story!

A short film that appeals to emotions—a heartfelt impact that inspires us all to contribute to building a world that embraces everyone. Ian was born with cerebral palsy. Like everyone else, he wants to have friends. Like no one, he needs to work hard to get it. Discrimination, bullying and indifference keep him away from his beloved playground. But Ian won’t give up easily and will achieve something amazing. Ian is not alone. In Argentina there are five million people with disability. In the world, more than a billion. A society that embraces diversity strengthens us, enriches our perspectives, and fosters justice.
