5000 Days & Counting...
In 2001 we set out to interview kids over a 5000-day period (roughly K-12) on film to record what it’s like to grow up in America today.
Over the past 14 years, hundreds of kids from around the world have been added to the project, revealing some of the challenges that kids face in their young teen years no matter where they live.

Meet Hans.
Hans is in grade 9. After beating childhood cancer, he is now battling Crohn’s disease and is keeping a video journal in hopes of helping other kids with the disease.
Take action to support Hans and others in the Project.
“Engrave this upon your heart: there isn’t anyone you couldn’t love once you’ve heard their story.”
