I really resonated with this short film, as it reminded me of similar experiences in my own young life. Well presented, this is perfect for our KIDS FIRST! Film Festival audiences.
Dressed as a revolutionary, Panchito, a 9-year-old boy, arrives at his elementary school classroom only to realize that all the other children are wearing their blue uniforms and he hides, afraid to be embarrassed. Well made short film with very good camera work, audio, and acting. I particularly enjoyed the performance by Diego Garcia who plays Panchito. The topic is well chosen and one that young kids can easily relate to - it's not unusual to be something that is in direct opposition to the rest of your group. My favorite part is the conversation between Panchito and the other boy in the restroom, each sitting on the floor of his own stall.
The film's message is how every small problem seems like a big deal when you are a young child and, looking back at it, we see the courage it took to overcome some situations. Bravo for Panchito. I give Revolutionaries 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
