The Buried Life and Tori at the 2013 Fourth Estate Summit
We’ll keep this short, as the video tells the story.
If there was a theme of the 2013 Fourth Estate Summit, it was living the best dream for your life. That’s why we invited the guys from The Buried Life along – you may well know them: they have a show on MTV, they’re ridiculously good looking (you have a crush on them? Join half the Invisible Children office), and this blog has featured their escapades countless times. What are they about? Asking people one fundamental question:
What do you want to do before you die?
Then they help people to achieve it. If that sounds ridiculous, it’s the reason they have a TV show (see Netflix). The list of things they’ve decided to do before they die, and subsequently achieved includes streaking (and getting away with it), sending their book to space, and playing ball with President Obama.
Enter Torri. A 18 year old with everything going for her. But Torri was born without her right hand – and her biggest dream – what she wanted to do before she died – was to have a state of the art, bionic hand fitted (the kind made by Hanger Clinic, one of the leading providers of prosthetic arms in the U.S.). Here’s how Invisible Children, The Buried Life, Hanger Clinic and Torri’s stories collided this summer at the Fourth Estate Summit:
