										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1">The project officially began on May 26, 2025 when I started sending emails to professors, researches, and activists to invite them to be part of the documentary. <img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" src="https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-300x400.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="400" class="size-medium wp-image-2958 alignright" srcset="https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-300x400.jpeg 300w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-500x667.jpeg 500w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-05-at-17.02.57-scaled.jpeg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<p class="p1">My project underwent numerous changes compared to what was planned when applying for the “GoMakeADifference” Award. While still at UWC Robert Bosch, I held meetings with other students who were interested in taking part in the project, but coordinating the group became overly complicated and the funds would have been immediately used up. Moreover, the possibilities for others to record were extremely limited, and after trying to find compromises, I decided to work on the project independently. This is also why the number of units planned for expenses was reduced, and I will now have the possibility to organize more events for the screening of the documentary!!!</p>
<p class="p1"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-301x400.jpeg" alt="" width="301" height="400" class="size-medium wp-image-2955 alignleft" srcset="https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-301x400.jpeg 301w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-771x1024.jpeg 771w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-768x1020.jpeg 768w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-1157x1536.jpeg 1157w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11-500x664.jpeg 500w, https://www.gomakeadifference.global/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-04-at-18.50.11.jpeg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 301px) 100vw, 301px" />While recording the interviews, all the experts thanked me for taking the responsibility to initiate the project, given the urgency of religious anti‑discrimination activities in Italy.</p>
<p class="p1">This documentary wants to ripristinate the empathy so violently amputed in public discurse, chanting our common human values and building compromises on our differences. This documentary asks for hope! It asks for compassion! It asks for LOVE!</p>
<p class="p1">After completion, the documentary will be screened in private Italian cinemas, where the majority of the financial GoMakeADifference award will be spent. On these occasions, it is likely that fundraising initiatives will be organized in support of “Doctors Without Borders.” Subsequently, the documentary will be sent to the “Festival dei Popoli.”</p>
