I adore this video- it is the story of what happens when two sewing machines are brought to a village in the Congo. It reminds me of a children's story because it is so happy. It also makes me think about all of the tools that I have where I could do something amazing for others. I have a sewing machine but what does it give back? I guess though, anything we make instead of buy is sending the message that we are not supporting souless corporate entities that pollute the earth and give little back. It takes something ridiculous like one cup of pesticides to make one cotton shirt. Anything we can do that does not give money to organizations with these practices is good. I think in relation to media, these people becoming self sufficient through sewing is media, the clothes they wear that they made themselves and this video depicting it is media. I don't really know, but it is a lovely story, and it shows the difference all of our small actions can make for others.
