We’ve been hearing a LOT about these ‘Hard Knock Rock’ animated shorts…

So, like most of everyone I get my news from a lot of different sources like Twitter, Facebook, Google, whatever. However, lately I’ve been seeing a lot of noise by these travelling shorts called Hard Knock Rock.

I first heard about them via New Times and after reading about it I had to make sure you guys knew about it, too. Evidently, it’s a series of educational videos inspired by the look of Schoolhouse Rocks! that deals with darker subject matter like STD’s, substance abuse, and other topics that maybe could be more useful to a classroom full of students than say ‘I’m just a Bill’.

Like Schoolhouse Rocks! the Hard Knock Rock employs a similar element of three-minute animated shorts with some sort of a musical element as developed by one David Scheve. He’s currently going about from film festival to film festival showing off Sufferin’ Till You’re Straight a new short dealing with gender identity.

Check out a clip down below and you can follow the Hard Knock Rock Facebook page.
