Living Legends: Everyday Heroes Rising Above Adversity
Donation protected
How many times have you heard 'What a legend!'?
It's a common phrase used to champion ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This project showcases three people, their journeys, and how we're all interconnected through hope, faith, and fortitude.
Living Legends captures the unfiltered reality of human resilience—these aren't manufactured narratives, but true experiences of people who've faced overwhelming obstacles and somehow found light in the darkness. Their stories could be your neighbor's, your friend's, or even your own.
This project has been a labour of love for the last two years, and despite Dijian's (Writer & Director) best efforts - it is still incomplete.
However, with 2025 in full swing, we're now ready to complete the campaign, which includes a film and photobook.
Why we need your help;
We're thankful that the community, friends, family, and supporters believed in the idea and encouraged us to finish this project. Having invested in the initial research & development of the film, we're ready to shoot.
