Short films that make you want to begin

Inspiring short films do not lecture. They simply show someone refusing to quit, and let the lift come on its own. Shadow Boxer follows one man's fight to step out of his father's long shadow, Squeeze puts a high school wrestling coach behind a student with autism nobody else believed in, and To Be Enjoyed hands a musician the unlikely chance to change everything.

Many here are true, which is its own kind of fuel. Sprache ist Leben follows a deaf boy fleeing Syria for Switzerland and the wall of obstacles ahead of him, Tanagokoro tracks how a single Japanese chef sparked a fish revolution in the UK, and The Simplicity of Happiness goes looking for contentment in the one place we keep overlooking. All free, all chosen to leave you a little braver than you started.
