The jungle, a violent and hostile place, becomes a paradise, where everybody loves and understands each other. On the one hand this fairy tale is comparable to the utopian ideal presented in the famous novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. On the other hand the video encourages us to think about what\u0026nbsp;separates us from any foreigner.

Enerzijds is dit sprookje vergelijkbaar met het utopische ideaal dat gepresenteerd wordt in de bekende roman Brave New World van Aldous Huxley. Anderzijds zet de video aan tot nadenken over wat ons onderscheidt van welke vreemdeling dan ook.
