Personally, I don't care either way if it is or isn't, but it was a clever piece of propaganda, with the filmography, the music, the child, the crying, the aspects of social media etc.
The thing that bothers me about it, is how easily people are brain washed into 'caring' about something that ultimately they didn't give a shit about a day ago, after just watching one video and not investigating it themselves or drawing their own conclusions 
The whole thing reminded me of Al Gore's Climate change film and that also had the problem with people being brainwashed and just jumping on the band wagon without coming to their own conclusion either.

Agree. Although being optimistic, If you can get people to care about something using the media its a step in the right direction. Its the same medium which makes people so self conscious, so self absorbed and so materialistic. Fair play to guy for making money, its a good cause. People only get worked up about it because they don't want to be part of a 'bandwagon', and want to go against the grain of society, because individual expression mean more to them than someone or something they cannot directly relate too, and thats the sad fact and adverse effect of consumerism.

And what on earth makes you think you know anything about me!? Materialistic, how did you come to that conclusion?! Who isn't self conscious? I dont see how having an opinion on something makes me attention seeking? You don't even know who I am and you think its ok just to hit out with that shite, away and boil yer face.
