Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A visualization of drone strikes in Pakistan since 2004:
Since 2004, the US has been practicing in a new kind of clandestine military operation. The justification for using drones to take out enemy targets is appealing because it removes the risk of losing American military, it?s much cheaper than deploying soldiers, it?s politically much easier to maneuver (i.e. flying a drone within Pakistan vs. sending troops) and it keeps the world in the dark about what is actually happening. It takes the conflict out of sight, out of mind. The success rate is extremely low and the cost on civilian lives and the general well-being of the population is very high. This project helps to bring light on the topic of drones. Not to speak for or against, but to inform and to allow you to see for yourself whether you can support drone usage or not.

New York City has a problem with income inequality. And it?s getting worse?the top of the spectrum is gaining and the bottom is losing. Along individual subway lines, earnings range from poverty to considerable wealth. The interactive infographic here charts these shifts, using data on median household income, from the U.S. Census Bureau, for census tracts with subway stations.

BFC produces another compelling and beautiful presentation. I wonder though if the first intro song is copyrighted and why they chose to use it rather than a lesser-known, more fitting song for the piece ...

Hi Tracy
We pay royalties to various institutions to use music from established artists in our productions - so of course everything's taken care of legally ;-)
Glad you liked the piece ;-)
Cheers!

The choise of song was given to us by the soldiers themselves. Eventhough it does not tell from the story, it's a song they use to psyke each other prior to going into battle.

This is absolutely lovely. Beautiful job all around.

What great insight about the song ... it added another dimension to the story which made the intro even more powerful. Not sure how it could be incorporated, but it would be great if everyone knew this backstory! Nicely done :)
