Help me identify this YouTube short film?
A while ago on youtube, I found this incredible short film. I remember a lot about it, I simply cannot remember the title of it to save my life. I am dying to be able to watch it again, so I’m asking for help identifying it’s title and who it’s by.
I remember it is narrated in a british accent by a younger girl. In the beginning, it shows a pregnant teenage girl and her boyfriend waking up on the street, sharing a bottle of alcohol, and going to the supermarket to steal food for the day. Then, they go to a subway station. I don’t remember what happens next, but the girl goes into the bathroom and injects some kind of drug, talking about how it’s like the tornado from the Wizard of Oz, changing her world from dreary black and white into color, or something like that… Then, it shows her dying of an overdose along with a trippy cut-scene of suburban families at first looking perfect but then going completely awry and wrong.
At the end, it shows her coffin being cremated while it talks about here hoping that where she’ll go after she dies will be sunny, like California.
I can’t believe I don’t remember the name of it. If any of you have seen it and can help me out, please let me know! Thanks.

There are virtually three very different things you can do
to try and find a video that you have watched previously.
Your results may appear either: 1) in alphabetical order,
2) in chronological order or 3) in photo "thumbnail" form:
ALPHABETICALLY (tons of results):
highlight your entire URL address bar, then simply type
in the word "youtube". From those results, you will see:
– every YouTube URL that you typed
– every YouTube channel you visited
– every video URL that you watched
(although in ugly YouTube code: eg, ?v=Ab1Cd2Ef3Gh).
CHRONOLOGICALLY (many results):
simply click on your internet browser’s "History" button
or tap "CTRL" and the letter "H" on your keyboard, and
you will get a daily list of every website which you have
viewed. YouTube will be mixed in with the others but at
least it will be much easier to find what you are looking
for, because everything will be shown in "plain" English.
And because every YouTube video has its own website,
you’ll also be able to see the full title of each video.
PHOTO THUMBNAIL (few results):
at the top right of just about every YouTube page is the
name "QuickList". Click on that, and then after you are
on the new page, click on "History" immediately below
the highlighted grey bar. You will see thumbnails of the
most recent videos you have viewed, but only the most
recent. That is because every time that you open / exit
YouTube, everything vanishes, and starts all over again.
Believe it or not, you can see your YouTube "QuickList"
and "viewing history" from right here within Yahoo. Just
click on my links below, and they’ll take you directly to
"YOUR VERY OWN" histories. (YouTube may first ask
you to ‘sign in’ with your username and your password):
http://www.youtube.com/my_history
http://www.youtube.com/my_quicklist
I hope that my multiple answer is a little helpful for you.
