Home > Radiohead launches anti-trafficking videoThe Age, Melbourne, 1 May 2008British band Radiohead are releasing a video that aims to raise awareness of human trafficking, lead singer Thom Yorke says. The video for All I Need uses a split screen to show a day in the life of two different children - one from an affluent background and another who is forced to work in a sweat shop. It will be screened from tomorrow by music channel MTV, which says it could reach 560 million households worldwide. "The video is a powerful piece and I hope that the emotion of the song will jump out at people in the context of these images of exploitation," Yorke said. The video was created as part of the MTV Exit campaign, which aims to raise awareness of human trafficking. The United Nations estimates that there are around 2.5 million people in the world who have been trafficked, mostly in Asia and the Pacific. |
