The title is a Hip Hop twist on a classic cautionary tale, which starts with an adventurous little boy getting lost on the wrong side of town. Childhood labor and public safety may sound like heavy topics, but they're presented in an approachable manner in this timely and important project.
It is not just an entertaining animated film set to a Hip Hop beat; it's a conversation starter for all ages. It allows us a chance to reflect on who to trust and when, and how to stay safe in an unpredictable world

Ascending a staircase in the centre of Athens makes room for reflection on everyday life, as both otherworldly and mundane. On a planet lit by neon and on a beach powered by cicadas, we twirl into a void measured by walking - one step at a time.
