Totally Awesome, 11 April 2007
10/10
Author: kevinkidd from United States

Lauren took a wee bit of time and created a powerful statement. Standing up for what you believe in takes more than just guts and bravery. It takes a strong will and lots of heart along with knowledge that what your doing is not just something to do, but rather something that must be done!

Every time I watch this short, and yes I've seen it more them once, I get chills up and down my arms and at the same time, I tend to be ashamed about what went on during that period of time.

The use of the contrasting whiteness of the milk against the darkness of skin just add a super effect in the black and white scene.

I'm ready to go a see it again!
