It never changes. Responsibility. I would like to see a movie made about a father who is a musician or singer, trying to make cds to sell them, to buy his kids, new shoes., clothes. a poor man. A real true, poor man.
WHere is the song that plays about the little boy that says....Daddy....whats for supper?....when are you coming to see me since mommy and you dont live together anymore?.......can snoopdog.....make one?....maybe he has, I just aint HEARD it yet!
I see it. Responsibility. Imagine if you cant get to it. words. by. VEGAS.

I would also love to see a movie where the father has left the mother and his own kids and now living with another woman taking care of her kids, and his own kids in need financially and needing their father! Because that is REALITY! This was very good and a start! Great job Danny Glover!

I was married for 24 yrs and had 10 children and three miscarriages in 15 years, When the youngest was 8, their father took up residence with his secretary and adopted her two children and totally removed himself from his own childrens lives. He is not part of their lives to this day outside of a birthday card to them on their Bday. I alone had the priviledge of picking up the pieces, being in their lives for all the bad and the good and in the autumn of my life I am reaping the rewards of 10 stable, well adjusted and awesome children who cherish Family Life. . The best thing their father ever did was leave, now he lives the lonesome life he chose with a third wife.

I liked it. Sometimes change happens that way, one person at a time. Plus, I am a Danny Glover fan and it's cool to see him looking more real than "Hollywood."

Danny Glover is a master in the acting business and he sure gave some good words in this motion picture.

Just the other day I was brainstorming with my husband on creative ways artists can use their talents to get people thinking about ways they could make a positive difference in the lives of others - this video definitely rang true

Beautiful - the world needs more people like Mr Glover! Reminds me of my favorite saying " never resist the urge to do a good deed- you will never regret a good deed" - much respect!

I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Glover at a festival in Milan two years ago. His commitment to a better world is very inspiring. Great film, great acting, editing and location. Bravo Maestro!!

This has been done before and done much better.
I'm surprised Mr. Glover didn't have Hugo Chavez in the video. But, maybe Hugo is getting mad at Danny, since Hugo gave Danny $18 million dollars years ago, direct a film about Toussaint Louverture. Nothing yet.
"Responsibility " and Danny Glover - wake up.

I loved the video. I'm a huge Danny Glover fan. I think nowadays when many people are involved in personal struggles it is important to reflect on how society is bound together in a beautiful and unique way.

I am a fan of Mr. Glover and was happy to see his picture attached to the Responsibility Project.
This is great. It is so true, always be kind to others. Nothing in life is so important that you cannot take the time to help those in need.
Great job.

I loved the video. You just never know how helping someone, even a little bit, can effect their lives for the better.

I loved this film! It speaks to what is missing in much of society today: The simple truth that it could be US in need one day... I loved it when Mr. Glover finally saw HIS face on the man on the bench. Bravo, Mr. Glover and everyone involved in this project...and of course, Bravo, Liberty Mutual!!

Loved this !! It just proves we too often run through life without taking notice of what is going on around us. Thanks to all those including Danny Glover, who do care and who take time to stop, on a busy day and take notice of others. It truely does make a difference in peoples lives. :)
