Radiohead's Video For "All I Need"

Radiohead is one of my favorite bands, and their video from their song "All I Need" fits well within this blog. They produced a video of two parallel stories running, one of a little boy in the West and one of a little boy in a sweatshop in the East, and the boy in the West ends up buying the shoes from the sweatshop.

Here's a quote about the video from Thom Yorke, the lead singer of Radiohead:

"I think it's important for everyone in the West or on High Street to understand the consequences of our economic activity. You must be aware of the level of exploitation that's going on, It's part of our Western life, and one we should accept responsibility for. There's no such thing as a free lunch or a free ticket to another country."
