The Wall Warning: Spoilers
While nowadays I found most of the shorts directed by Carlos Lascano to be a bit kitsch, he is undeniably talented, combining effectively different animation styles in rather impressive manner.

While this Amnesty International video is also a bit kitsch in its use of "inspiring" imagery, the visuals are pretty excellent from beginning to end, largely surpassing any of the trite works by Bansky or Steve Cutts (I just found the former to be simply terrible, while the latter is a hit-or-miss type of filmmaker, sometimes he makes some good stuff, but the total lack of subtlety of his work can often has awful results, like in that Moby video he made) I do admit some of the imagery displayed here reminded me of Bansky work, but nowhere as corny.

The quality alone of the animation makes this worth-watching.

7.5/10.
