Wait! You have it backwards! The device is powered by the sun, but has
to get away from the light. As it cleans the area of the window that
it's on, it receives more light, so it then must seek out less bright
areas, which are presumably dirty. That way it's always looking for
dirty spots to clean, n'est ce pas? .

I've seen it. It wasn't done but I saw a pre release at the studio. I think
they were talking about it being played up in the 4 corners area and then
maybe nationally. It doesn't have much to do with the games and India. It's
mostly about these 4 teens that are in gangs, do drugs, been in jail......
And talk mainly about how they went to India for the BEAM games and it
changed their lives. Although when we went they shot like 600 hours of film
in India there are only a few shots in the video. I would of liked to of
seen more shots of the games and India.
