In honour of Earth Day and the necessity of hope for our future, I'd like to share this short video with you.
In 2007-08, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) held a video contest for young film makers entitled "u@50" to explore what the future would be like for today's youth. This video, entitled Lost Generation, won second place (although many feel it deserved first place for its originality and cleverness). It was created by Jonathan Reed, a 20-year-old Film Studies major at Georgia State University.
Be sure to watch the ENTIRE video -- it has a twist at the end!
