Jason’s team at work watched the following short film the other day. He then forwarded it to me.
I cannot stop thinking about it.
I showed it to Emily and her best friend, then we explored Nick’s site for a while. I had shown Em a video clip of Nick’s a couple years ago, but the two almost 10 year olds were more profoundly impacted this time around.
I hope this movie challenges you, makes you squirm a little, and sets your eyes on what really matters.
Enjoy!
