“Ian” is an animated short film created by the Ian Foundation and Mundaloco CGI in Argentina: youtu.be/6dLEO8mwYWQ. Ian was born with cerebral palsy. All he wants is to make friends, although it seems impossible to achieve when discrimination and bullying keep him away from his beloved playground. However, this young boy is determined and won’t give up easily.
We have been blessed to partner with the filmmakers to use this film as a teaching tool in our education program. Now we are working together to bring Ian’s animated playground to life in Argentina! Learn more about the Ian Foundation (Fundación Ian) at: fundacionian.com.
