I don't think there is enough information about these animals in the world, and people don't realise what they have to go through. This video is insightful and informative without intending to be. It shocks the viewer, as they are able to gaze into the animals eyes and then be shocked by the material afterwards. It really is a story.

And such excellent work! The music is perfect, and the story you tell is without words - that is to say, free of language - and therefore universal. Listen to Brook, consider YouTube & other venues for distribution that can spread this message. New works! And such excellent work!

Despite the damage it would do to the visual aspect of the piece, I hope you'll put this on You Tube etc. - powerful activist video by someone who really understands the images he's working with.
