I was on my first date—in decades. To say that I was a nervous wreck is an understatement. After watching The Last Jedi, we walked to a nearby restaurant for a bite to eat.

As we talked, my mind was racing as I tried to ascertain his values, his relationship with his family, his aspirations and more.

But all that came to a screeching halt when he asked me if I’d seen the video done by TV2 in Denmark. When I said I hadn’t, he told me all about it—and how much it moved him.

What’s it about? Putting people in boxes … and the opposite … that we have more in common than we think. When I saw it, it brought tears to my eyes.

Take a look:

When I watched it again the other day, I had the same reaction. We can’t let politicians and the media divide us.

*(P.S. I ended up marrying that guy three years later.)*
