MIPCOM Spotlight: NPO Sales

Each episode of the series Just Kids is about a child whose rights are being threatened, and NPO Sales is presenting eight brand-new episodes.

In the short documentary Fighting Against the Wind, viewers are introduced to 12-year-old Amber, who doesn’t have hair. “She will never know the sensation of the wind blowing through her hair…but Amber is positive about her situation,” says Margaret Stanneveld, the company’s sales manager.

“Every documentary is a unique story about people and their lives,” Stanneveld notes. “These stories encourage us to reconsider our perspective, to see things from a different point of view or to start a debate and talk about what we think and how we feel.”

The company’s slate also includes the animated film Free as a Bird, about a 10-year-old living in a war zone. “Free as a Bird is telling a story that affects a lot of children worldwide,” adds Stanneveld.
