I am looking for inspirational, well-polished videos from non-profits/charities!

I'm looking for well-polished videos from non-profits that inspire action or share information about a cause, similar to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e8xgF0JtVg

Bonus points for videos made outside of North America, but all links are welcome.

The Committee on the Shelterless (Petaluma, California) videos have inspired me to put a lot of energy and a few bucks towards their cause.

Saw a presentation by this organization a few months ago and find most of these videos to be compelling. They are, if I remember correctly, done without much scripting, filmed in just a couple of hours, and then edited by a completely different person who shapes the narrative arc.

I think this one is good (full disclosure, I work at DSF for a few more days).
