So sometimes I’m a late comer to the party… But then again, late or not if the party ROCKS than my motto is better late than never.

So what am I talking about? Witnessing something that has been witnessed by millions of people (8,534,749 before me to be exact). Matt Harding is a Filmmaker and world traveler who fusing both skills (hobbies, whatever) created an amazingly brillliant short film.

So what’s it about? Matt dancing a wacky jig in all corners of the globe. So what’s so cool about this. Easy… How the simple act of dancing a silly dance with strangers at different places in the world. A simple act that unites these strangers. A simple act that shows how damn easy it is to find common ground, be a uniter.

Whether it’s Matt Dancing or Laker Guard Jordan Farmar teaching basketball to Jewish and Palestinian kids in Israel and the West Bank (together not separate – Jordan Farmar to go on peace mission to Middle East) bringing the world closer should be the simple mission!

Matt’s movies are so compelling that the folks at Yahoo! invited him over for a filming session (View here – And Now We Dance)

So where was I? Oh yeay… over 8 milllion folks have seen this video – hopefully 8 million more will be watching soon. It will touch your heart and hopefully move you to some “simple” action. Enjoy!

14 months in the making, 42 countries, and a cast of thousands. (Please notice the High Quality embed…)
