This is amazing Neil. So moving and powerful. Your birthday is coming up? I’m greeting you in advance just in case I won’t be online on the 13th. Happy birthday. :-) This inspirational poem and video reminded of something I read about the millennial generation. So many wonderful things I can say about this short film. Great editing, acting, soundtrack. It’s just beautiful I am running out of adjectives. Thanks for sharing. :-)
