That was very cool!

I would have preferred it without the overly maudlin / cloying music, and that particular style of voice acting, but amazing work none the less. The crowd sourced animation is really affecting - you don't have time to get used to one style of representing / adding subtext to the story before the next one kicks in, and catches you unexpectedly.

Wow. I work with people every day whose lives have been ruined by bullying, who have tried to commit suicide over bullying, who feel worthless because of it. This spoken word captures what they tell me every day, like nothing I have ever heard before. Thank you cricket.

beautiful and powerful

This has restored some of my faith in the Sift.

What if we can't ever expect our children to treat each other with respect when our adults don't give them a lead to follow. Does the system by which we operate ensure harmony and shared purpose, or do we strive to force competition amongst ourselves for access to an artificially finite resource governed by a set of rules we have collectively agreed to follow?

Maybe our society is sick and this is one of the many symptoms. Maybe we need to change society.
