Most Nepalese live below the poverty line and about 14% of children are still outside of primary education. One out of eleven children dies before reaching age five from diarrhea, malaria, and dysentery. 13,000 children die every year from diarrhea alone. In Nepal, diarrhea is regarded as a dreadful disease and people live in fear of it. Hygiene education is significantly behind in this country and children do not learn enough about it in either school or at home.
  Featuring the story of an eleven-year-old girl, this documentary targets children five to twelve years of age and sends the strong message that simple, yet economical, hand-washing is the most important way to avoid disease. The program begin with her monologue, then shows interviews with children in a rural area, and introduces actual data and statistics. The documentary literally encourages children to take personal hygiene into their own hands.
  She changes, her family members change, their homelife changes. She shows her hands to her friends and proudly tells them, "Look at my hands!"
  We acknowledge literacy as being a vital tool in today’s societies but the truth is there are many adults and children worldwide that still cannot read or write.
 The message we got from all the proposals delivered a better understanding of the difficulties each one faces in their own country or region.
 The proposal “Look at my hands” was a very special program that conveyed a huge problem in the social behaviour of Nepalese children.
 We received a strong message in the simplistic storytelling composition of the documentary and compliment the Producer in her quest to actively involve the community in the hygiene message.
