Kamran Shirdel is working on two projects about eradicating hunger in the world and reducing the number of deaths among children.

Issues such as AIDS, mothers+ health, environmental sustainability, and educational coequality are some of themes for the one-minute films being produced, MNA reported on Sunday.
