Pibes Rodando: We are not dangerous, we are in danger

Pibes Rodando: We are not dangerous, we are in danger! is a socio-educational and cultural communication project that emerged in 2008 as a result of the need of a group of teenagers living in the La Cava slum to speak out and express themselves. The project arose within the framework of the Communication and Youth Rights Workshop developed by Asociación Civil Empleo Joven (ACEJ), a social organization that since 2003 has been promoting spaces for participation so that communities in vulnerable situations can fully exercise their rights to education and work. Pibes Rodando is a contribution to the democratization of access to education and communication as essential pillars of human development; it represents a tool that conveys the voice of young people in the cultural battle for the ideas that circulate socially; Pibes Rodando is a humble criticism to the mass media that build the image of the poor youth related to violence and insecurity, deepening stigmatization and social discrimination. For these young people, Pibes Rodando is not only a community cinema experience: it is "THEIR" reality.
