I think this film was from 2010, and I think it is Spanish. Here is an [English version](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8bm2llxxjU). **SPOILER: Whoever gave it an English title gives away the ending in the title.** If you know the film I’m talking about, can you tell me its original title, and who made it? ---

It appears the original title is The Power Of Words by Andrea Gardner. Edit: I’m seeing that it’s based off something (book? essay?) called ‘Change Your Words, Change Your World’. ---

The version I’m looking for is in (I believe) Spanish. Also, ISTR that the good deed doer was a man. ---

I find this video sooooo incredibly insulting and patronizing. I was at a nonprofit conference where they played it and talked about how powerful it was…then we went into breakout rooms…I did not hold back.
