Vox Populi 
Oh, this was heartbreaking to watch. The matter-of-fact, reportorial tone and cartoon-like images heighten the impact. Such a powerful poem and video.

Nicely done, nearly made me cry. I had wonderful parents, never abused in any way, so I am not sure if it is appropriate to give it a “like”.
