"Beautifully simple" — Maria Popova

Brain Pickings featured 50P1Q: "Beautifully simple premise, even more beautifully executed, peeling away at the most authentic of human sentiments about life."

Maria Popova wrote about Fifty People, One Question on Brain Pickings when we were named finalists for the first-ever Vimeo Awards:

"Beautifully simple premise, even more beautifully executed, peeling away at the most authentic of human sentiments about life."

"It's amazing, in a deeply sad kind of way, how self-conscious and timid people become as they communicate a genuine wish for 'world peace,' fully aware of the contrived fluff-status the phrase has attained."

Coverage also came from The Guardian (Johnny Dee: "Beautiful and touching… Ah, the madness of real life"), the New York Times Lens Blog ("Must See: Videos Worth Watching"), and AgencySpy which called it "the most important social experiment of our time."
