Addicted to Outrage (2015x75)

:

I've been wanting to make this video for a long time, but it's a difficult topic for me both because I recognize the power that outrage has had in my life and in driving me to learn and to act, and also because I recognize that there are many legitimate reasons to be angry and the last thing I wan to do is tell people who have not had the tremendous privileges I have had how to experience their situation. But as I have watched the outrage cycle increase in potency and seen the negative affects as people put themselves deeper and deeper into these bubbles of toxic dehumanization, I'm legitimately worried for our future ability to handle difficult challenges in a timely manner.
