Would it project as well with images as it does with words? This is a vivid and very expressive look at the inhumane acts human beings foist on each other all to frequently. It is a metaphor for the disappearing forests of the earth and for the subsequent global warming that will end human existence, if we don't take action, or else it is about that and a metaphor for war. Either way it is brilliant and I like that it ends with the dreams born of innocent children.
