Largely inspired by Marty Kohn's I Want to Live in a Friendly World, this satirical film creates a tension between a utopian world and our harsh reality. The film first presents a flower power universe, quickly replaced by images of war. The ending overlays illustrations and footage, using design as a simple solution to solve bigger problems. The anthem launched Posters for Peace, a design competition that gave artists a voice in late 2017.
