Caine Monroy is a 9-year-old boy from Los Angeles. At face value, you'd think he was like any other kid: charismatic, adorable, and pretty smart.
However, Caine is unlike most kids his age. His talent surpasses any expectation, like 11-year-old dancer Sean Lew.
While helping his father run his junkyard on weekends Caine began to do something spectacular.
He began to create his own arcade out of cardboard. When he asked his father for a claw machine, his dad suggested he make it instead. Caine got an S hook, some string, and a cardboard box — and the result was a fully functional arcade game. Over time, he made dozens of elaborate games that anyone can play for a nickel.
Unfortunately, without walk-in traffic to the junkyard, Caine never had any customers. When he told the kids at school about his arcade, they made fun of him. But he never gave up building. One day, his dad's customer Nirvan saw the arcade and was blown away.
Nirvan gathered hundreds of customers to surprise Caine for one beautiful, tear-jerking moment.
He became Caine's first customer and forever changed his life. Nirvan made this short, beautiful film about the young boy's inspiration and what happened next was a national phenomenon.
After millions of people saw Caine's Arcade, 70 schools in 9 different countries began making them. Nirvan has even raised $250,000 for Caine and brilliant kids like him to go to college. However, the real surprise is in the video below.
