The students’ video, which won in the animation category for age 7-10, is created in the style of the picture book Listen to the Wind: The story of Greg Mortenson and Three Cups of Tea, a companion to Mortenson’s original book.
Congratulations to the young filmmakers!

The 2010 Shortie Awards were presented Tuesday, May 25, at the French Embassy.
