Great music and visuals
As a huge 1 Giant Leap fan from the 1st movie, I have been waiting all year to get my hands on "What About Me?". Perhaps I have to many happy memories of 1GL 1, however whilst the music on "What About Me?" is equal if not better than the first film, this movie has not yet had the same effect on me. Don't get me wrong, this is a really good film however I still prefer the original! Perhaps I need to keep on watching to change my mind. Really looking forward to the album... do you have a release date yet?

A truly wonderful experience
After watching "What About Me?" on the big screen in Sydney last week I could not wait to get home and watch the DVD again! Wow... what a surprise! The DVD version of the film is over 2 1/2 wonderful long hours long (I am sure that the cinema version was much shorter). What a visual, musical and spiritual treat! I am now working my way through the wonderful TV series that was included on the bonus DVD. What fantastic value for money and a truly inspirational experience. Thank you 1 Giant Leap. P.S: When is the album available? I can't wait!

Inspirational!
Truly quite unique (apart from the first one of course) and dare I say even better. I was so pleased to find the TV series on the DVD too as well as a 2 hour movie about a dozen short films and extras. I still sometimes go and watch the trailers at the whataboutme.tv website during the day to give me a spark Such a fantastic line up too, Lila Downs, KD Lang, Will Young, Carlos Santana, Stewart Copeland, Baba Maal, Zap Mama.. .and those are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head .... I mean really and that also doesn't even touch on all the philosophies of people like Stephen Fry, Susan Sarendon and Ekhart Tolle. I can't wait for the album and was thrilled when I found some tracks on Myspace and Facebook

A DVD that everyone should watch!
Well done all involved a true service to humanity. This film makes you realize that everything is going to be fine. It should be on the national syllabus, it should be played constantly on one of the masses of digital channels that we now have, it should be subtitled and translated to every language on the planet. Buy it. Watch it. Share it.
