Radical Creatives

There is no ready formula for changing the world. “Radical Creatives” recognises the potential of creativity as a force for global change towards a more attractive and nuanced future. The 1-hour documentary explores the underutilized power of radical creativity. It's a story of overcoming self-doubt by using a collective creative force. The film weaves a compelling narrative that captivates the world of Finnish oddity at Aalto University and beyond, where tradition meets rebellion. Creativity is courage and action; it belongs to everyone and lives in all of us.
