A Stunning Film on the Power of Gratitude

Post by John Lee

IT'S often been said that 'living a life of gratitude' is the ideal way to achieve true happiness.

Yet even the most cursory glance at the newspapers or TV news can leave you feeling there's little to be grateful for. 

Louie Schwartzberg's stunning, 'Moving Art'

Well, this sense of resignation or even hopelessness is turned completely on its head by the beautiful movie you can access below.

It features a talk by US director, producer and cinematographer, Louie Schwartzberg, at TED in San Francisco.

He introduces his film, 'Moving Art', which includes some truly brilliant time-lapse photography, along with some wonderfully wise words from both a small child and an elderly man.

If you've ever doubted that there's much to be grateful for in our world - especially for those of us fortunate enough to live without conflict and abject suffering - then you really need to see this.

Visually stunning, it's equally uplifting, encouraging and even inspiring as it reminds us of the wonder of nature and the little things we can all do to make life better for everyone.

It's also a perfect antidote to any downbeat TV news.
