"Bearing Dreams" sets out to uncover the world of superstition and dream interpretation in the Korean culture. The Tae-Mong is a type of prophetic dreams Koreans have that determines the sex, personality, and destiny of their unborn child. The film explores the origin of Tae-Mong by interviewing the filmmaker's "Old Korea" relatives, who migrated from Korea in the early 80's and still hold on to the practices they've grown up with. As they recall dreams of their siblings and offsprings, the filmmaker's curiosity is triggered and she decides to figure out her own destiny as dictated by her mother's Tae-Mong for her. Her Tae-Mong seems promising but do dreams really come true? According to these dreamers, they do...even if it means buying the Tae-Mong from someone else.

PCI Media Impact, a non-profit organization specializing in the use of Entertainment Education to promote social change created their Ecuadorian serial drama, "Toque Magico (Magic Touch)" in 2008 to promote youth awareness of gender equality and assist in the cultural elimination of inequity and prevention of violence against women. In this, episode IV,Magdalena experiences sexist treatment from Professor Contreras, trainer of the domesticated dragons workshop, who labels her as weak and unintelligent, and is certain she is only in the workshop to find a husband. The disrespect towards the witches also manifests itself between fellow apprentices. Reinaldo, along with his group of friends, leads the harassment against the little witches with stares, shameless catcalls and even going so far as to touch them. Barbi, fed up with Reinaldo's harassment, slaps him in order to get the respect of the sorcerers.
