Children Who Changed the World

Open Road Films

Children really are the future. They provide hope, inspiration, and allow us to view the world with fresh eyes. We can experience this in the film “Little Boy” starring Jakob Salvati as Pepper Flynt Busbee. Pepper losses his best friend and dad (Michael Rapaport), when he’s leaves for WWII. Pepper believes his faith can bring his dad home, and end the war. The seven-year-old accomplishes this through faith, hope, and determination in this ultimate underdog story. “I learned that all things are possible with God,” said Salvati in a Beliefnet interview. “He’s [God] amazing and does everything for you. He’s given you your life, and He’s given His life for you.” But Pepper and Salvati are not the only ones changing the world. Here are examples of visionaries taking a stand.
