Write a short summary of what happens in the film
Our film tells a story about diversity, about how beautiful the world would be if we all show respect for each other. We see all kinds of people. It is written in slam poetry to express both the emotionality and the power of this message.
Please tell us about the cultural insight that inspired the work
Today, in Belgium, we see a shift to the right. Intolerance towards people with a migrant background or people who are 'different' is on the rise.
KU Leuven, our client, is the oldest Catholic university in the world. It has the perception of being elitist and rather right-wing. Not directly the image you associate with a university that stands for inclusion. This image was recently reinforced by not taking a stand on the death of a student who died in degrading circumstances during a student baptism.
However, KU Leuven has been working on an integrity for years. Without impact.
With this pact for mutual respect, KU Leuven wants to break once and for all with the image of a university that is exclusive by opening a dialogue with its students and staff. Done in a contemporary style that fits in with the world of students, without being pedantic.
