Our Areas of Impact
Enjoy this mini documentary about the work that Siembra Vida does in Puert0 Rico. The video follows one young man who participated in our program and had battled with drugs since he was a child. He explains his challenges and how God moved his heart to change. Getting to know the young men on a personal level and understanding their struggles is something that moves us all and makes our heart more sensitive to the social issues around us. This film was presented at the Rincon International Film Fest in 2015 and the ENFOQUE Film Fest in 2016.
A special thanks to Julio Benito Cabrera and his family for creating such a moving short film.
