Mauro Garcia Dahmer. TV writer and videomaker, was born in Santiago, Chile, and grew up in Porto Alegre where he took part on the independent rock scene directing videos and playing music in bands. Wrote and produced several awarded PSA's and educational campaigns for MTV Brazil. Directed the trilogy of documentaries named Xpress, about youth, sexuallity and HIV/AIDS prevention, with locations in Mexico, Jamaica, Brazil, Rep Dominicana, Colombia and USA. Awarded as Journalist Friend of the Children, by ANDI, now lives in the unsustainable but lovely and cosmopolitan city of São Paulo, where he couldn't stop thinking about our impact for the next generations world.

I would say Xpress was a frank conversational project about youth and sexuality in Latin America and the Caribbean. Funded by Unicef and MTV Staying Alive Foundation we have crossed the region with our cameras arguing about cultural backgrounds, prejudices, education, poverty, public policies, drugs, globalization, politics and everything that came to my mind addressing HIV/AIDS prevention. It was an incredible experience of hearing about problems and solutions from the perspective of young people. What? 3 programs
