Lights Camera Action



STIR|World Vision

Living is the United States and LA i am constantly blinded and distracted by the reality of the world outside of my bubble that i live in. Many people in major cities across the globe can live their lives blinded by the media and self indulgence. I found this clip today and was moved by it because it brings a glimpse of reality to my world. It seems that in this day and age we have to work real hard to seek truth. STIR in Australia is on the right track. Here is a stat from their website "11 Million children die every year before they are 5 years old. This is mostly due to easily preventable diseases like pneumonia, diarrhea, measles and malaria. 54% of these deaths are attributed to malnutrition. 99% are in the world's lowest-income countries." And that is as real as it gets.
