Join the Video Challenges!

Here’s how the Video Challenges work: We produce the first Act of a 5-Act film and post it to YouTube. Then, young people across the world compete with one another by creating and uploading the next Act — your vision of how the story should continue.

Please click on the video to the left to see how the first Challenge — “Young and HIV+” — is coming together.

Thanks, and good luck!
