My big question has always been... How did the director/producer arrive at such a poignant story about human trafficking when so much of Radiohead's song seems to be about love and longing for a woman? Where's that metaphor?

My only nitpicky issue with it - I think I'm the teacher who ruffles her students' hair. Sorry. Finally watched the video.

As I prepare to use this upcoming summer to do a deep mental dive into the land of Joseph Campbell's 'hero journey' as a larger framework for my 10 grade English students next fall while simultaneously supporting a colleague's further adventure into a film making class of his own, I feeling deeply blessed by this post of yours, Dan. No doubt it'll be shown next fall in my classroom. No doubt my kids will be thinking about your use of visual metaphor and the lean-into-writing elements you so aptly focused on here. No doubt I'll remain hungry for even more good stuff on this front from you, too. Thanks for giving my brain something to feast on this evening as I drive home.
