Dear reader, for your viewing pleasure, I bring you a documentary about crushing failure and independent success. Don’t waste time reading what I have to say. This documentary is 35 minutes long, but trust me, it’s well worth it.

Here’s a little description courtesy of Lemonademovie.com (a review post to follow later this week):

What do people who were once paid to be creative for a living do when they’re laid off? They get creative with their own lives. Lemonade is an inspirational film about 16 advertising professionals who lost their jobs and found their calling, encouraging people to listen to that little voice inside their head that asks, “What if?”

All resources for Lemonade were donated. From cameras to lights to flights, this is a project by and for those who have been affected by unemployment.

A special thanks to Hulu.com for the distribution and everyone who had a part in making this touching film. Enjoy.

Can’t see the video on the blog? Watch it here.

EDIT: So apparently, this video can only be viewed if you reside in the US. I’ll make it up to you guys (if you live overseas, you’ll want to check out my next post). I have an idea…

EDIT #2: The Lemonade Movie is finally available for streaming worldwide! Check it out here at SnagFilms.
