In the mid-80s, there was a video-collage of about 20-30 minutes, by Giorgio Moroder, he did it for TV. The title was "Die Welt in der wir leben" ("The world we live in"), and it displayed the sharp contrasts between beuaty and ugliness in the human world, happiness and despair, technological triimph and technological disaster, haute coutur and starvation in Africa, a rose blossoming after displays of the exploding Space Shuttle, a new sunset after the pictures of war, unbelievable sports and basketball stunts followed by the slums in Kalkutta, etc. It was stunning, and back then I found it very, very impressive, touching, moving.
Anyone remembering it, and having a source where I could find it? I search it since years, but do not even find any mentioning of it, which is a shame. By memory, I still consider it to be a brilliant collage, and think it is impossible not to be touched by it.
