Contest Name: The Hive Submission Date :06-13-2018, Uploaded By : Melika Jamshidabadi

Inspiration: Often times we don’t pay attention to our surroundings and the lives we have. One day when I was as at Disneyland I heard the sound of fireworks and I got excited because it meant that something beautiful was commencing. At the same time it occurred to me, that the same sound I was so excited to hear, which was leading to something full of life and joy, can be the sound that some people will be terrified to hear somewhere else in the world because it would be full of death and sadness. I made this movie to open more peoples eyes to the world around them so they will take action towards bringing peace and comfort for those who experience hardships from war, poverty, and hunger. Let’s hope for a day that all sounds in all parts of the world represent peace, happiness, and something beautiful.
