Radiohead: ‘All I Need’ – Powerful Video
’All I Need’ is Radiohead’s new video which portrays the realities of human trafficking.On side is a boy from the west whilst on the other it mirrors a boy from the east who works in a sweatshop.
The western boy ends up buying the shoes that the eastern boy has toiled over.
The music complements the video which certainly makes you think about the true price of those cheap clothes and products that we’re only too happy to find in the stores on our high streets. But what is the true price that someone has paid for them?
Watch the video:
