Feel Good Video Of The Day

Just when you've given up all hope in the human race, a video clip comes along to restore your faith in humanity.

The clip shows a Detroit firefighter pulling two unconscious pit bulls out of a burning house.  Instead of turning to fight the fire, he takes of his oxygen mask and successfully uses it to resuscitate the dogs.  It's nice to know that there are still good people in this world.



The clip is from a documentary film project called Burn .  It follows a fire company on the East side of Detroit over the course of a year.  I have seen a number of clips from the film over the last year, and, in every sense of the word, these men and women are heroes.  This is a documentary that needs to be seen.  If you can contribute to Burn's funding, please make a donation on their website.

Here is a preview of the yet to be completed film:

Video: State Farm's 'Empire State Of Mind' (Remembering 9/11)

Today State Farm is debuting a heartwarming new commercial.  Directed by acclaimed New York City director Spike Lee, it features nearly 150 NYC area schoolchildren between the ages of 8 and 11.  They walk throughout the city, stopping at four firehouses along the way, singing 'Empire State of Mind'.  It's an extremely touching tribute to the city of New York, and to those that risked, and lost, their lives to save others ten years ago.

Grab a tissue.



For those who were wondering, many of the kids in the video were part of the PS22 Chorus at one time.
