Every child has a gift, but Francesca's is nothing ordinary for a 12-year-old. She wants to take action to change the living conditions of other children in the slums and her country. To do that, she will have to convince adults to do their job and take responsibility.

"In Pursuit of My Ancestors' Dream" tells the heartfelt story of a courageous young girl from Cite? Soleil, the biggest slum in Haiti and the Caribbean, a place where hope struggles to take root because of extreme poverty. Despite her limitations, she faces her challenges head-on; her spirit remains unbroken, and her dreams are as vast and vivid as those of any child in the world. Through her voice as the captain and her undefeated debating teammates, the world will hear their cry for justice. For restitution and reparations. For equality. For human dignity. For education, thus freedom.

She does not want the hurtful part of history to be dismissed but addressed now when its impact still affects her community. She plans to become Kid President, the voice of the children without one. Why are they homeless? Why do they go hungry? How can they help change their community and the world without an education? How can it all be fixed?

Francesca's imagination will take you on a journey to prove that her body frame does not determine the size of her heart.
