A year later, this video still gets me every time. This experiment was conducted in Oslo, Norway, and shows a young boy waiting at a bus stop who has had his coat stolen. Some people interact with him, asking him questions and offering him gloves, while others simply ignore him. My faith in humanity was restored by the people who take off their own jackets in the freezing cold in order to keep the boy, Johannes, warm.
The description box on YouTube says:
“The film is made to raise awareness of the situation for children in Syria, and to raise funds to SOS Children’s Villages is their winter-campaign. Children in Syria are freezing and you can help by dontating. For more information: www.sos-barnebyer.no/Mayday/Syria.”
