Lured in by the visuals, I wasn't prepared to go on the journey of what "Backstory" had to offer. It connected with me immediately and it was too late. I was on a thrill-ride through a life that seemed eerily familiar. I can't say more, but promise me you'll watch this. 

It's a piece you won't forget and it will be the best 8 minutes of your day. 

It has already won 33 awards, to give you the scope of their accomplishments.
