The Pied Piper: a modern day fairy tale

Thursday, August 22, 2013

The video is an adaptation of the fairy tale of the Pied Piper, who stole away the children of the town of Hamelin after the town's leaders did not keep their promises to him. In this version we relate the infamous tale to the idea that a slew of modern "pied pipers"—the major killers like pneumonia, malaria and diarrhoea—are stealing away our children because leaders have not kept their promises.
