Observed annually on 12 August every year International Youth Day is observed. In 2026, the UN is recognising that while young people’s lives are shaped by different national and local realities, their aspirations are remarkably similar. Across countries and communities, young people seek dignity, opportunity, meaningful participation, decent work, quality education, and a sustainable future. These films remind your patrons that the future is built on courage, compassion, and conviction.
Watch for FREE with a participating library card or on a 30-day trial. Also, you can rent a film for 72 hours.
