You make a good point. It is easy to alarm, much harder to suggest constructive action.

I says to me there are compelling reasons to teach our children about public health issues. I think it’s a little long for the typical person’s attention span, but otherwise the message is compelling and as it brings it down to what to do with YOUR child, I think makes a point. The message at the end could be better shaped to address personal action more directly. Overall, I thought it was a good effort.

I’d say that I couldn’t remember much about it except a black background, blinking white text and some semi-annoying music. At the end it tells you to “Spread the Word” – What word? The word(s) seem to be ‘public health’ but after watching this video twice I still don’t know what they want me to do.

Eric: I don’t disagree with your point at all, but I’m not sure it’s the biggest problem with this video. Though nicely produced (I like the graphics), it’s really hard to follow the connection between the statistics, the story and what they want people to do. In fact, that almost seems like the bigger problem – what is it they are asking people to do?
