Synopsis; They say that 11:11 is the time to make a wish. If that is so, what would be special about 12:12..? This short film shows the weird, odd and unusual events that happen to a young man when the clock strikes 12:12. Enjoy!

New Deal Programs

Demographics
Demography is the study of the characteristics of the human population, such as age, race, and gender.
