"For too long, migrant workers have been an ‘invisible majority’ in the Middle East. They are rarely discussed in the media and receive little protection from the governments of host countries, many of whom have no clear policies for safeguarding their welfare. Please join our struggle for migrant rights in the region: migrant-rights.org"

    It's not Gulf it's "THE PERSIAN GULF" !!
  • Stephen Blacker plus 1 year ago
    Only Americans refer to it as the Persian Gulf any more. It's the "Arabian Gulf".

    Cool Piece, Sad fact. But if the US says anything we'll get more terrorist attacks here in the US.

    I agree with " beware the Crap" above..too wordy..it dampened the message alittle. The hand drawn elements were outstanding. The music fabulous. The CG to die for and the transitions 0:40, 1:04, 1:30 exquisite.... Overall..Outstanding.

  • Justin Kohse plus 1 year ago
    i agree with pretty much every comment here, amazing work. super smoother, really well done. But the voice over set it back a little for me, also the voice over seemed like it was being read super fast.

    agreed, overall outstanding.
