The two-minute short, specially commissioned for International Women's Day, sees 007 star Daniel Craig undergo a dramatic makeover as he puts himself, quite literally, in a woman's shoes.
Directed by acclaimed 'Nowhere Boy' director/conceptual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, scripted by Jane Goldman ('Kick Ass') and featuring the voice of Dame Judi Dench reprising her role as 'M', the film will be screened in cinemas and streamed online in a bid to highlight the levels of inequality that persist between men and women in the UK and worldwide. It is the first film featuring Bond to be directed by a woman.

Wow. This was...moving. It reminds me of the videos and plays and everything I used to immerse myself in during college and my activist days. It's painful to hear the statistics again (unchanged) and again I feel helpless - so little to do. After the whole NYT gang rape fiasco too...of all the times to print that.
Very sobering wasn't it? The statistics are horrorfying & you do feel helpless but hopefully video's like this might make people think.
I love Daniel Craig as Bond (& Dame Judy as M) After a few more movies from him, I rekon Rob would be an awsome Bond. At least he would be able to use his own accent!
W/V sence. Inequality makes no sence....
