Each short movie was created by a different respected urban artist from around the world chosen personally by U2.  In addition, a 12th flick made by Irish painter Conor Harrington to accompany the Songs of Innocence bonus track "Crystal Ballroom" can be accessed exclusively by U2.com subscribers.

The videos include both animated and live-action sequences and, thanks to the many artists who contributed to the project, offer a variety styles and points of view.  The films were all made using the political murals that appear in urban areas of Northern Ireland as a reference point.
