Exploring new artistic forms, techniques, and mediums. Pushing the limits of the tools.

Please share a personal story about your experience making this impact video.
I’ve never met these leaders, and probably many of us haven’t either, yet I find it fascinating that we can all recognize them from something as small as the back of an ear—while they wouldn’t even know our faces. Recreating them from memory was an intriguing process, often resulting in avatars or twin-like lookalikes.
What do you want audiences to take away from this video?
I would be happy if the audience is left questioning who these men are and contemplating ways to achieve peace on Earth.
Please list key points that should be covered in a post-screening discussion:
How can humanity come together as one, put an end to conflict, and thrive as a species at risk, in harmony with other species and nature?
Please provide information on any recent developments regarding the issue or subjects of the video. How have things changed or not changed?
Little has changed since the making of this film. The British prime ministers have changed, and Bashar al-Assad is no longer in power. However, others have been re-elected.
