It was McLachlan's desire to assist those in need by arranging for the video's production costs to go to charities around the globe. Award-winning video director Sophie Muller and her production crew donated their time and skill to create this video with the labor costs benefiting those in need worldwide. The sobering video will make its broadcast debut exclusively on VH1 as well as VH1.com, October 14 at 7:00 pm. Muller captured a stark, simple performance by McLachlan that is interspersed with scenes displaying the standard cost for video production (inclusive of camera crews, electricians, and location fees, etc) comparing those costs with the price of food, medical supplies and education for over one million people in countries such as Afghanistan, India, Nairobi, South Africa, Southeast Asia. Those expenses that are customary for a video production were sent to a list of 11 charities with total funds equaling $150,000. The only production expense was $15, the cost of a Sony mini DV tape.
