What happens

It's Cool to be Kind er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2002, der er instrueret af Adam Buttenschøn og Thomas Holmaa. Filmen foregår på Guineabugtens strandbred, hvor der er et myldrende liv af unge mennesker fra Accra, hovedstaden i Ghana. Det meste af tiden er der liv og glade dage, men problemer kan pludseligt opstå, når mange skal tjene til dagen og vejen på samme smalle strimmel sand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
