Impact: A study on the impact of the Make-A-Wish Foundation (web-series) (2018)

IMPACT is a three part series of documentary shorts on how a wish can transform not only the lives of critically ill children, but also their families, supporters and even entire communities. Every short film is a story based around one child: Yassir, Madelief and Arnau. Yassir (17) wants to experience a live match of his favourite NBA team: The Golden State Warriors. The story is told by his mum, his granddad and his best friend after Yassir died battling a brain tumor. The film dives deeper into what a wish means for a child's family and how they look back at that moment. Madelief (20) had her wish granted 10 years ago meeting her favourite musical star and has been motivated to follow a career into music ever since. We look back at what she has achieved in 10 years and how this has been made possible by the Make-A-Wish foundation. After a heavy time battling a tumor, Arnau (3) wants to celebrate Christmas on a beach with his entire family. We follow him and his family during his wish experience and see how he turns fear into confidence while his dearest wish is being granted.
