The artist from Wimberly, Texas loves nothing better than a dirty car. With brushes and other tools, he creates amazingly detailed images in the window dust of his car. The range of tones and detail create the look of charcoal on paper. That is, until it rains. But for Wade, the short life span of his work just adds to its power. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=432 2008-08-15 In 1969, two Australians living in London purchased a 35-pound lion cub from the exotic animal division of Harrod's department store. For a full year, John Rendall and Anthony Bourke raised the cub as their pet, permitting him to lounge freely in the furniture shop they co-owned and even join them for an occasional meal at a local restaurant. In 1972, after the lion had grown too large to properly be cared for, he was taken to Kenya and--rather remarkably--reintroduced to the wild. Two years later, Rendall and Bourke paid a visit to Kenya to see their old friend. They were told the lion would never remember them. Watch what happened. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=473 2008-08-08 It might be one of the most moving one-minute videos you will ever see. Made by OneEarth.org, The Power of One combines evocative visuals and an original score by Academy Award winner Hans Zimmer to present contemporary and historical examples of individuals who impacted the world by working toward the greater good and multiplying the power of one. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=14 2008-08-01 There are no weekend box office charts for online videos. But if there were, at the top of nearly every list right now might well be a four-and-a-half-minute video called "Dancing." In just a month since its online release, it has been viewed by more than ten million people. After 14 months of traveling in 42 countries, it's the story of a guy named Matt doing the gratitude dance with a cast of thousands around the globe ... from the streets of Mumbai to a rock formation in Ireland to a tulip field in Netherlands! http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=729 2008-07-25 Despite crippling obstacles, Dr. V(enkataswamy) restored the sight of over 100,000 people with his own hands. Thirty years ago, at the age of 58, he started an 11-bed eye clinic in an old temple-city, and with his team, turned Aravind Eye Care System into the largest and most productive eye care facility in the world. Taking its compassionate services to the doorstep of rural India, Aravind's stunningly effective strategies have created a self-sustaining system that now treats over 1.4 million patients each year, two-thirds of them for free. This award winning documentary tells the inspired story of what made Dr. V's leadership and vision so compelling! http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=74 2008-07-18 In this public service announcement, Friends Without Borders offers a solution to the global tensions existing in our world today: connect children with one another, heart-to-heart, on a global scale. This new generation might then, quite possibly, help grow the world into a warmer, friendlier home for us all. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=192 2008-07-11 A man stands on a sidewalk, waiting to ask passersby a single question: "Are you the favorite person of anybody?" Remarkably simple, yet profound its implications, this script, penned by indie phenom Miranda July, asks viewers to take an inward glance at their own lives. With subtle direction and wonderfully quirky performances, the film was also recently selected for YouTube's online screening. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=456 2008-07-04
