The 7 minutes of this short pack a surprising amount of power thanks to it being based on a fast spoken word piece. In delivery and themes, it reminds me a bit of moments in "Blindspotting". While some of the monologues in the full-length movie have a bit of an awkward rhythm, the short has no such problems as the spoken piece takes up the entire runtime.
Combining the powerful message and delivery with a collage of animations and brief live-action shots, the short is effective and a visual treat. Like all anthology pieces, some segments are definitely weaker, but the variety of imagery, including 3D modeling and several types of 2D animation make for a great end result.
The message continues even during the credits as it turns out that the work is truly collaborative, having contributions from several teams and solo artists throughout the world.
