America
América is a ten-year-old girl from a remote village in the Peruvian Andes with one dream: to buy a bicycle so she is never late for school again. Determined to earn the money herself, she sets out to overcome everyday challenges that stand in her way. This Oscar-qualified short follows her small yet determined steps toward that goal, offering a quietly moving portrait of perseverance and hope.
