"You know a milkshake costs as much as a year's supply of medicine for a kid who's got leprosy? And a submarine costs twice as much as UNICEF spends in two whole years."
It's a promotional short for UNICEF, but there is undeniable power in the juxtaposition of American kids happily enjoying Halloween and less fortunate kids in the world suffering. The film still makes one reflect on the unfairness of it all, with the most innocent among us in such pain, obviously still true today. The shots of children from other countries dancing and smiling towards the end were a nice touch, adding some degree of balance to this sobering film.
