A treat: in praise of simplicity and fraternity, 10 February 2007

What a great treat to watch on Saturday upon waking from a night full of dreams! Thank you, Fesser, for your humanity and childlike warmth. Thank you for showing the so-called developing world in all its true glory, carefully hidden from the mass media, where we are only made to feel sorry for the poor people in Africa. And yes, there are terrible maladies, social and political in many African countries, but there are as well good places to live in a sustainable way, in opposition to our arrogant perception that takes for granted everyone wants to drive a car, and travel and see the world, and accumulate a fortune only to be ridden by fear and create even more unnecessary layers around ourselves as individuals and as societies.

It strikes me this short was finished in 2004, before it became a trend for Hollywood stars and the like to adopt Senegal children. But I laughed out loud when I finally listened to the great idea, since it seems a total slap in the face of some do-good no-good well known names that have been the focus of a heated discussion here in London.

Oscar for you! so you can go on spreading good vibes.
