The Power of Words

A teacher shared this with me a little while ago, and I just got a chance to watch it. What a fantastic video. This short film illustrates the power of words to radically change your message and your effect upon the world. He said "there is no better way to teach the importance of words than with this video." It is really beautiful how it is put together. Take a second and watch this short video and let me know what you think.

This short story winner of the 2008 Cannes Festival shows how the kindness of strangers can have a big impact. Film produced by Alonso Alvarez Barreda.

What did you think she was going to write? How did you feel after watching this? What other concepts like this can you think of? What message is this video trying to send? Why do you think now, more than ever, words mean so much? I'd love to hear from you!
