Three Canadian teens, Maria, Kourosh and Chaminda, are chosen to travel to Tanzania to link up with their Tanzanian peers and visit schools, orphanages and rural communities. Their journey into a world of famine, AIDS and social injustice is not a sad story but one alive with the affection and energy between the visitors and the children they meet. When they return home, the students bring with them a wealth of experience to share with everyone they meet. Bringing myths and stereotypes into the open, Move Your World is a hymn to the healing process. — J. Morrison
