@tlquachfilms speaking: This music video is one of the most challenging edits I’ve ever done. Alcina and I put a lot of heart and soul, sifting through a lot of footage and of course, some of the images are just hard to watch over and over. But we felt there’s an important message we want to send out to the world.
We want to raise awareness of the world’s current state, comparing it with the past and present - emphasizing how we’re all in this together as one human race.
In this chaotic world, we offer love, compassion, and beauty and hope we can get through it together, healing through music and art.
Thanks
@iamalcina ,
@equanimouslove and
@geometrae_audio for creating such a powerful song.
Shout out to the film crew who also made this video happen!

And thank you Tutelage Inc.
@tutelageincorporated & Consciously
@consciouslyone for sponsoring us and allowing us to make this project as best it could be.
And also thanks to
@pexels and their users for being a platform and a huge resource to us to create the global message we needed. No AI was used, these footages are all human-made. Those are real soldiers, those are real refugees, those were real bombs.
In this #AAPIMonth and all the months, I want to honor our ancestors (and our living loved ones) who brought us all to this light together, who survived wars, poverty, and all kinds of hardships to survive. I also want to recognize the 50 year anniversary since the American war in Vietnam and Southeast Asia has ended and will never forget it.
And lastly, I want to shout out to all those out there who are putting in the work to make this world more equitable and humane place.
