Radiohead 'All I Need' Video


Radiohead joined MTV's campaign against human trafficking in their "All I Need" video:
"They've produced a video of two parallel stories running, one of a little boy in the West and one of a little boy in a sweatshop in the East, and the boy [in the West] ends up buying the shoes from the sweatshop. It's actually quite powerful," Yorke said. "It's the sort of images I have in my head anyway. Sometimes when you're walking down High Street and you're looking at the incredibly cheap [sneakers], you sort of think, 'Hmmm, well how did they manage to make that so cheaply?' It sort of reminds me of one of my preoccupations, so I'm touched that the music goes with that. I think it's great."

This video is powerful, it is scary that in this day and age 2.5 million people are victims of human trafficking. While one video can not make a huge difference, it can definitely raise awareness to the problem.
