The video New World was designed to illustrate the King Britt/Sister Gertrude Morgan song
New World In My View. I was struck by the song's powerful message and felt inspired to produce
this video. The video begins with a barrage of religious symbols and garbled audio over which
Sister Gertrude Morgan can be heard. The video's imagery shifts and becomes more lyrical as
its message becomes clearer, distilled to one simple truth-that the door to heaven is open to all.
My sincere thanks to the folks at Ropeadope.
