Emotional punch from reframing

In this short video from WATERisLIFE, tweets from the popular hashtag #FirstWorldProblems are used to brilliant effect.  As impoverished residents of Haiti recite whiny gripes of the privileged (like you and me), we are shown a mirror, and the view isn’t pretty.  Nonetheless, it’s done with gentleness, and its power is real.

Happily, the Twitter feed #FirstWorldProblems is intended to be satirical, but most reading this are probably guilty of thinking comparable thoughts.  After viewing this it’s not enough to admire their marketing savvy.  I just made a donation.  How about you?
