The documentary Make it Happen – A Bigger Journey the world doesn't offer answers, but it challenges young and old alike to reflect and act.
A documentary that has been shown to various organizations, companies, municipalities, associations, and schools, inspiring everyone to make things happen.
The goal was simple: to seek energy and enthusiasm beyond the "crisis" and "debt," to connect with positive people, to be inspired by entrepreneurs, both in business and in life, to learn from people who overcame all kinds of adversity and who, more than creating companies or promoting projects, made things happen by facing the present and the future with optimism and the ability to dream.
You know this story that shows us that making things happen is within our reach, as long as there is dedication and commitment.

The objective was clearly defined: to seek the energy and motivation of entrepreneurs to overcome life's difficulties and the crisis.
André had no doubt that the desire to meet positive people and be inspired by entrepreneurs who faced challenges and achieved their dreams would make this experience one of the most enriching of his life.
The journey wasn't easy. He faced difficult situations, such as being robbed, sleeping on the streets, and eating canned tuna. But this only fueled his determination to record stories of overcoming adversity and gather experiences in societies and cultures with very different contexts from his own.
In each place, I found people who, despite adversity, were united by a common desire: to make things happen. This journey, full of challenges and discoveries, serves as a reminder that we can transform realities, both our own and those of others.
