Sometimes the most pointed social commentary is best delivered by a giant-eyed, blue-bodied, huggable cartoon character.In just over two minutes, the animated short A Sad Little Fact asks tough questions about the future of truth itself. Do facts matter in a world where some politicians and pundits lie so regularly and without any accountability? The answer is—and must be—yes, but restoring a public debate grounded in truth is going to take time. And it’s going to require some challenging conversations.
There are big issues raised by this charming and accessible little short; questions that may not have simple answers. But with A Sad Little Fact, families, teachers, and friends have a new tool for starting a conversation that could not be more important.
