Planetary Kidz"! came into being in 2005. Project Creator/Director Terry Braverman birthed the idea while on a cultural mission, traveling through remote tribal villages in Southeast Asia, where he'd play music on a harmonica upon entering their communities. Children rushed out from their rustic straw/bamboo huts to surround him with intense curiosity, hearing expressive sounds both plaintive and exuberant, so enthralling yet so foreign to their ears. Terry amused them further by mimicking the animal sounds in the village, creating other sound effects, and miming. Their joyful eyes, smiles, and raucous laughter moved him to consider how he could connect these kids with other children around the world in a way that was entertaining, educational, and inspire future global leadership.

Terry spent countless hours researching children's TV shows, educational programs, leadership forums, as well as the travel genre, to conceive his idea of a cross cultural global television series.

Planetary Kidz"! affiliated as a program of International Humanities Center in June, 2006, and has since developed partnerships with Amazon.com and Parenthood Magazine. Academy award-winning producer/director Vanessa Roth was introduced to Terry in May, 2007, and a partnership was created to manifest his vision with an inaugural documentary film that will demonstrate the power of satellite link-up to transform education and inspire a new global village for young people.
