Sometimes it takes a child speaking the truth to point out the ludicrous faults of the adult world. Watch them take on the role of the most powerful leaders and see what happens.

Coldplay and Oxfam invite fans to star in the band’s new video!
Longtime supporters of Oxfam’s work know that we have a long and creative history of working with our global ambassadors, Coldplay. This week, we’ve taken this collaboration to new creative heights with the announcement of a crowd-sourced project that asks fans of the band to contribute to a video highlighting theglobal injustice of land grabs. Every two days, an area of land the size of Chicago is sold to foreign investors in developing countries; two-thirds of those investors plan to export everything they produce on the land - in some cases, destroying local food supplies in places where food insecurity is already dangerously high and forcing many people to go hungry.
For their contributions to the video, participants will move a favourite, personal, or familiar item from their home to somewhere it doesn’t belong, or do a personal, everyday, or familiar activity that they’d usually do at home, in totally the wrong place. The video, which will be set to an exclusive just-for-Oxfam acoustic version of the classic ‘In My Place’, will be stitched together by Coldplay’s music video and film director Mat Whitcross.

Syria crisis
More than a million refugees have now fled violence in Syria and are in desperate need of shelter, food and water. Oxfam is aiming to reach 650,000 people in the coming months and calling for more international aid and a peaceful solution to the crisis.Enough Food for Everyone IF
The IF campaign is a huge coalition of UK-based organisations, including Oxfam, who share the vision of a world where everyone has enough to eat.Between now and the G8 in June, we're joining forces to petition David Cameron relentlessly and every which way to use his presidency of the G8 to take a lead on hunger.
Through our actions, and his leadership, we can persuade governments to act too, and when they do, everyone on this planet will have the chance of getting the food they need to live a healthy, happy life.
