Go and watch this movie, and keep in mind it's 100% real, and was shot entirely in 2006.  There's an earlier film on the site that was put together in 2005 that follows the same format but both films amazed me…

The presentation is simple, innocent, and says almost nothing at all, which is probably why it is so easy to find your own deeper meaning in it.  But I find it inspiring, and not only because of the obvious effort that must have gone into its making by this young adventurer, but for its simple innocent and joyful exuberance.

Poking around the site I found this tidbit about the music played in the videos:

…The girl you hear singing is named Afunakwa. She comes from a place named Fataleka in the Solomon Islands. The song she is singing is a traditional lullaby named “Rorogwela.” The recording was made in 1970 by a UNESCO ethnomusicologist named Hugo Zemp…

…”Rorogwela” is part of the oral tradition among the Baegu tribe, passed down through generations for who-knows-how-long, and was thankfully preserved while there were members of the tribe who could still sing it.

The song is now a part of the internet video tradition among computer geeks, and is passed through high-bandwidth fiber optic cable a bajillion times a day to who-knows-where.

I find this to be nifty.

No one seems to know if Afunakwa is still alive. If she is, I would very much like to meet her someday…

You're right Matt, it is nifty. And thanks–you made me smile.
