“We believe that BreakOut! strikes a perfect balance between highlighting critical global issues, and presenting them in a way that feels manageable to young Canadians - no doubt students will walk away feeling that, “Yes, I can make a difference in our world.” The “Think Water” episode, specifically, will serve as an invaluable public engagement tool for WaterCan for years to come and we expect that many students will feel inspired to take action on the global water crisis.”
Gary H.J. Pluim, Executive Director, WaterCan
“Watching these life changing and hopeful stories gives our children and youth a sense of power and purpose in our ever-changing society.”
Cathy McKee, Reel Fun Film Festival, Calgary AB
“Breakout! is a fun, informative, cross-platform experience that will engage kids in creative thinking about important social issues, and inspire them to make their voices heard through digital media.”
Ian Esquivel, Teacher instructor, Toronto, ON
“The films have inspired my class to do something. We are doing a bake sale and a bottle drive with the proceeds going to the Inn From the Cold. Some of the girls are going to make little fleece blankets filled with a few toiletries and a toy to give to the kids that come in at Inn From the Cold.”
