We have seen it before - a book, a cinema movie or a TV program from years ago that drops hints left and right, ahead of it's time. This series (which I did not see posted, I do appologise if it was) has a narrtive that may speak to quite a few here, to others it may not. Be warned (but please do not be discouraged..) It contains a lot of drama, as well as moments of violence and despair, so viewing the chapters is at your own risk, especially if you like to keep the positive mind set, but nevertheless, you may find an interest ...
'Broken Saints' was created as a DVD but published on the internet for free , it contains - Spiritual adventure, Milabs, chips, visions, psychic warefare, secret projects, whistleblowing, individual missions full of idealism, holograms, hackers, unity and more, all done wonderfully well in the graphical sense, the way it describe itself is as a 'beautifully animated epic story'.
Please, before watching.. be aware (and beware) that the truth is subject to interpretation and that messages, ideas and symbols are there to effect our subconcious whatever their intent is (and a good and relevent question might be, what is the intent of this one? please share what you think of it here after you have made your acquaintance), so watching the chapters of this series is recommended with keeping that in mind.
From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Saints): "Broken Saints is an award-winning, partially Flash-animated film series by Brooke Burgess, Ian Kirby, and Andrew West. First published in 2001, it is one of the earliest examples of a motion comic. Like a comic, characters on the most part remain in static poses and dialogue is indicated by speech balloons.
It is some 12 hours long, split into 24 chapters published online between 2001 and 2003. Centered on philosophical, religious, political and spiritual themes, it tells the story of four strangers from "the quiet corners of the globe" connected by a vision they all receive of a coming evil. Their search for the truth behind the vision leads them to each other and to far larger and more disturbing truths than they could have expected."
Here is one chapter for example:
