Own the Room

An inspiring documentary about young minds with fearless ambition to stand up for a cause they believe matters.

I especially enjoyed the life story behind each student entrepreneur and how it plays a crucial role in defining what they are trying to achieve. It shows no matter where you are from, you can end up in the same room with other like-minded beings to share a vision of a better world.

Well done.

Loved this documentary! Follows some unique entrenpreneurial journeys amongst students competing at GSEA. Showcases the challenges & opportunities that arise from a diverse set of backgrounds.

I would have also liked to see the ideas among the other finalists in the competition.

Showing the struggles and perseverance of these kids to achieve their dreams at GSEA was so touching and real. Each one with their own set of challenges put my own world into perspective. The only aprt I didn't agree with the glossing over of why Henry was stopped and not allowed into Macau the first time. It highlighted that he was the only candidate stopped and not allowed in, and he was also the only Africa candidate of the group featured. That experience of being turned away because of your skin color could have been extrapolated on a little more. Its a real human experience.

The story of five entrepreneurs from very different parts of the world that took small thoughts and turned them into big ideas. The five people talk openly about the ups and downs they've faced in their journeys which really highlights the importance of perseverance (just listen for Henry's story). By the end of the film, it was hard not to become emotionally attached to each person and wish the very best for them. I have a feeling this won't be the last we hear about some of these people. Definitely recommend watching!

This movie made me emotional at times. They did a good job selecting candidates that are likable. I wish they had gone more in depth on the secondary characters.
