Sports stars show they can be heroes in other ways in this documentary from filmmakers Gabriele Salvatore, Guido Lazzarini and Fabio Scamoni. Inter Milan is one of Italy's leading professional football teams, and a number of the team's top players have helped set up an organization to help at-risk children around the world. "Inter Campus" is a program in which members of the Inter Milan squad travel to economically depressed neighborhoods in nineteen different countries, teaching the basics of football to kids in poor neighborhoods, fitting them with proper equipment, and explaining how the skills and strategies gained through sports can be used to improve their lives and their communities. In Petites Historias das Crianças (aka Children's Small Stories), the athletes of "Inter Campus" travel around their world and use the talents that made them stars to make a difference in the lives of children in need. Children's Small Stories was an official selection at the 2009 Miami International Film Festival.
