how do you make these videos?

[girleffect]

@starjane19 Hi, there! It was created by the Nike Foundation, produced by Wieden+Kennedy Portland & directed by Man vs. Magnet, in association with the production company Curious Pictures. The music in the video is by Elias Arts. Hope this helps!

Who knows the name of that song?

these negative comments upset me this is a non profit that is trying to make the world a better place

[RubberRhubarb]

Come to think of it, this video's telling the absolute truth.

@mollym44 whats the track?

[XSonyo]

I agree with this effect, but yet again in the world we live in, this is only a dream that can not flourish without "support"

@AristanderX There's a separate one for boys as well.

I believe there is a "boy effect" video and agree with the fact that a healthy "people effect" could do society well. Girls and women, though large in number, have long been reduced in influence. Despite some of the stigma of its corporate affiliations, the heart of this initiative is in the right place. P(e)ace

I guess boys don't deserve those things. Why not call it a "child effect"? 

[Alpinex105]

The problem with this theory is that it doesn't really emphasize how money and science are mechanisms used to increase equality/living standards/poverty/illnesses/ov­erpopulation ect. I do however understand that their has to be sociological changes as well. The UN is already implementing many policies/institutions/processe­s that aid the people in the third world. We must not forget that contributions men have to make in order for the "girl" effect to occur. Let's focus on the "peoples effect".

@WolfKissesStudios Can you prove to me that they do in fact use child labor? Did you visit the web site of this organization and really try to figure out what they're about? Have you read their book? It does not look like you have really looked into this, because if you have, you would be looking at the bigger picture. Would you rather work or not work? Or would you complain about your age or your disabilities? Contribute to your family's income or sleep in a mud hut?

@AnonymousJonny How old are those girls? How much are they paid? How are they treated in the factories? Are you willing to provide videos of the conditions in these factories? ACTUAL videos? Answer me that.
