Grading is amazing. Grain is a bit strong. But well done. Really like the red with teal backgounds.

Truly amazing and moving depiction of the soldering of children across the globe. I hope this brings added attention to this travesty that plagues areas like Uganda and the Somalia. Thank you for making this.

They are our brothers and sisters. Everybody needs an education without violence, intolerance and political influences. Coward that one who hurts a kid, miserable who steals childhood, damned who breaks integrity.

and I quote,
"You know a good filmmaker when he makes a documentary* that challenges a society to see beyond their own “inconveniences” into a world where social justice is a strand of hope in a perpetually pounding wind."

*or in this case a short film

Light Orchestra 9 months ago

Fantastic photography apart, you really nailed it in terms of political perspective. Excellent work that needs to be more out in the open. It makes you wonder whether we are going about the all war on terror the right way.
Besides that as you already know interesting use of DOF, keeping the grain and all... NICE!
