Lol- its funny and really gets you to think at the same time. Its really powerful when your looking at the australian boys huge expensive shoe collection, and then the other boys bare feet and cut from the huge knife. And seeing Erin’s ipod and the african girls only toy, a bombshell.

2Wow, that was powerful, Helen. It should be required viewing for all American teenagers.
I recently listened to an excellent podcast from Grace Cathedral on this same topic: The Price of Privilege

6Hah, I’m going to ask my kids to watch this.
Not quite fair that they singled out teenagers though. At all ages, most of us “first world” types take too much for granted.
Still, the teenager thing works for the cute running gag. Maybe they won’t complain about chores so much after watching this.

7Laura I agree that what they say about teenagers could apply to people of many other ages too.
Let’s hope you’re right that they’ll complain about chores less after this! :-)
