"8" is a full-length feature film made up of eight short films. These centre on eight different themes and are directed by eight famous film directors who through this medium express their opinion on the progress made and the setbacks and challenges faced by our planet today.
Each filmmaker has "carte blanche" to treat one of the eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The eight film directors (including Wim Wenders and Gas van Sant) give us their own point of view, without compromise.
