The nine-year-old boy, who has cerebral palsy, was forgotten on a school outing, and the case gained repercussion after his mother reported it on a social network. [3]

In August 2019, it revamped its logo and adopted a new name, DT Films. In April 2020, it announced the release of 180 films together with Paris Filmes to theaters for the industry's post-COVID-19 pandemic revival.
