Men had made those masks and other objects for a sacred purpose, a magic purpose, as a kind of mediation between themselves and the unknown hostile forces that surrounded them, in order to overcome their fear and horror by giving it a form and an image. It depressed me so much I wanted to get out fast, but I stayed and studied.

'All children should be able to grow up strong and healthy, with the opportunity to reach their full potential', says P!nk, who witnessed the effects of poverty in Haiti only recently when she visited as part of her duties as UNICEF ambassador. With the video comes an appeal to donate to UNICEF and aid them in their mission to provide healthcare, clean water and education to children and families in the poorest places on earth.

The popstar uses her body and expression to convey the strength of her heart in the video for this orchestral ballad. It's released as part of her partnership with the children's charity UNICEF, and features a very special cameo. Pink shows some truly raw emotion in the video for her heartfelt song 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken', taken from her latest album 'Beautiful Trauma'.
