Nicholas Kristof

... is an International Journalist for the New York Times. And this is his YT channel (link).

Despite hearing a dandily banjo playing upon entering his site, his works are mostly gloomier in mood. 

Extortion, women abuse, child labour, sweatshops, poverty, forced prostitution - things that are unheard of in mainstream media. After seeing the videos, it is hard to believe that these ARE happening in undeveloped countries. Shocked and disgusted by the acts of the human kins, I decided to contribute my meager effort in spreading his message. Because 3000++ views just isn't enough awareness for the unfortunates, when "Evolution of Dance" (I&II) tops the view ratings among Internet users.

How about a fair share of entertainment and dismal? 

Urging people to look at the ugly side isn't my cup of tea. Looking at grotesque images and listening to horrifying stories bothers me as well. However, the dark side of the moon complements its lustre.  

I dream with my eyes open.
