Here we are transported to the four corners of the world, meeting children with disabilities. Maud had one of her legs amputated at birth and suffers from profound deafness. Xavier is an albino. Both Nirmala and Khendo lost their legs after a terrible accident. Charles is blind. Antonio suffers from autism, hyperactivity and attention deficit disorder.
Particularities which, sometimes, made their integration difficult. “At firstsays young Nirmala, I thought I was the only one and that people were going to make fun of me.”

The first images of We Have a Dream might inspire pity or despondency, but in reality it is quite the opposite. They surprise with their light tone and the recurrence of their positivism. Far from the pity and tears that the viewer might expect, the trailer focuses on the energy of each of these children.

Undoubtedly titled in homage to Martin Luther King’s famous call for tolerance, the documentary actually reveals the daily life of these extraordinary children through the prism of their dreams and ambitions: to become a dancer, a doctor, a marathon runner… A desire that disability seems incapable of stopping!
Alternating tight shots of the mischievous smiles of the children and the impressive panoramas of the world around them, Pascal Plisson once again confirms his talent as a director as well as a storyteller in a trailer which leaves one dreamy and foreshadows a (new) great film.
Meet Maud, Xavier, Nirmala, Khendo, Charles and Antonio in We Have a Dream, from September 27 at the cinema.
