Traditional prosthetics can cost thousands of dollars and need to be replaced as children grow. A group of volunteers is using open-source technology and 3-D printers to provide free prosthetic hands for children and adults who need them. In this short from filmmaker Charlie Nordstrom, learn about e-NABLE, the organization behind the idea. Hear from Kieran, a child whose life has been improved by the device, and see the whole process unfold at Autodesk, a creative workshop in San Francisco. • Charlie Nordstrom: https://vimeo.com/charlien • e-NABLE: http://enablingthefuture.org/ • Autodesk: http://www.autodesk.com/ • ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe • ➡ Get More Short Film Showcase: http://bit.ly/ShortFilmShowcase • About Short Film Showcase: • A curated collection of the most captivating documentary shorts from filmmakers around the world.
