From the Amazon to the Arctic, kids around the world are dancing and singing to the award winning song, We Are All Connected, part of the celebrity studded musical called Pacha’s Pajamas. Supporting this vision, the campaign will launch with a music video of the We Are ALL Connected song on July 17th, showing a blend of animation and live action footage featuring youth groups and youtube stars around the world.
