How My Imagination Set Me Free | Mukunda Angulo | TEDxTeen
“I’ll never forget the day they announced it. It meant so much, because they said it was a ‘subject’ – it was a film about the power of imagination. About the power of our imagination. A film about about imagination. That really hit home.”
– Mukunda Angulo, 2016 TEDxTeen #Untapped Speaker
Mukunda grew up in the projects of Lower East Side, Manhattan, New York. For a child growing up in the city that never sleeps, circumstances confined him to a small family apartment. I am still astonished by his ability to hold onto imagination, regardless of the circumstances faced. I cannot even completely fathom a situation similar to Mukunda’s experience. His perspective, imagination, and freedom came from the power of movies.
