Goosebumps! How did I miss the Grand Rapids LipDub?! This is a must-see. (Thanks to CreateEquity's Top 10 Arts Policy Stories of 2011.)
After a Newsweek article named Grand Rapids one of 'America's Dying Cities,' city residents and filmmakers put together this amazing and inspiring video response.
The video's director and executive producer explained, “We disagreed strongly, and wanted to create a video that encompasses the passion and energy we all feel is growing exponentially, in this great city. We felt Don McLean’s ‘American Pie,’ a song about death, was in the end, triumphant and filled to the brim with life and hope."
