The Story of Stuff is a fascinating web video project that does a great job of stripping away the confusion about how our consumerist society work.
Stark black and white animations and direction narration tell clear, concise stories about how the global economy works. No matter what your political or economic persuasion, The Story of Stuff is timely and topical during our Christmas orgy of presents. Share love, not tokens.
See for yourself:
The whole thing is available for watching in 7 chapters from Free Range Studios on YouTube, or download it from the Story of Stuff website.
I recommend it. I know, it seems hokey, lefty, quaint. It's hard to care and have big ideas. But how else do you think we can change the world?
It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here?
What better time than now?
– "Guerilla Radio" by Rage Against the Machine
