I don't understand what this is.
It's a video written by the Dalai Lama, featuring Gorillaz, Tilda Swinton, Stella McCartney, Willem Dafoe, Beth Ditto, Jarvis Cocker, Alison Mosshart, Michael Stipe, Grimes.
Willem Dafoe has a beautiful speaking voice. What's the video all about?
Simply put, the need to foster a culture of non-violence and global peace in 2012. It was shot by top photographer man Rankin, and produced by Dazed films.
Why?
To mark the Dalai Lama's visit to the UK (15th - 23rd June). As part of that, to encourage under 25s to attend a special (free) talk given by His Holiness, compered by Russell Brand, to be held in Manchester.
When's that happening?
Saturday 16th June 2012, starting at 1.30pm, so plenty of time to get there from other parts of the country (or have a lie-in if you live in Manchester)
Where's that happening?
Manchester Arena , Victoria Station, Hunts Bank, Manchester, M3 1AR
I want to go to that.
Yeah, it does sound good, doesn't it?
