“It takes a village” may sound like a bit of a cliche, but it’s also true. Navigating this world by yourself is extremely tough; the right support can not only help you survive but also thrive. To illustrate the importance and magic of a loving community, the Association of Assistance for Disabled Children (AADC) in São Paulo Brazil partnered with AKQA São Paulo, Mono Studios, and Prodigo for a precious, emotional animated short.

In the short film “Friendly Arms,” a young boy is sweetly approached by a friend and asked to dance with a kind smile.
