The director of this film  A BAREFOOT DREAM said, "what I wanted to convey was hope, and to see children nourishing their dreams and trying their best to obtain that dream was important.  Especially for the jaded forty-something, middle aged group – people like me!

– I wanted to give them something hopeful.  My friends around me, my generation, they appear to me to have lost all hope and I made this for them."
