The Circle of Life - By Elizabeth Zhang

On a distant island, an ancient ritual demands sacrifice for every new life. When one family’s joy turns to tragedy, their courage inspires a community to rise against fear and reclaim their dignity. This is a youth-created story that highlights themes of justice, resilience, and the power of collective action - reflecting the universal call for human rights and sustainable communities. This film reminds us that no tradition should outweigh compassion, and every life holds equal value.
