The festival attracts young filmmakers from around the world, serving as a platform for young people to create advocacy films on local or global issues.

Charlie’s film prompts us to wonder if one man can make a difference. Enviro-Man is a comedy in which a superhero fights to reduce traffic congestion and pollution using his superpowers. Comedy is the most effective way to grab someone’s attention. So Charlie uses humour to convey a serious message.
