This is one of my earlier works. The underlying thesis is stated in the beginning of the video. I've learned quite a lot (both conceptually and technically) since I made piece, but still enjoy it for its creative direct action based approach. I had tons of fun making it, and hope that it inspires other people to get engaged with independent media. And now the obligatory quote from Noam Chomsky on the subject: "...sectors of the doctrinal system serve to divert the unwashed masses and reinforce the basic social values: passivity, submissiveness to authority, the overriding virtue of greed and personal gain, lack of concern for others, fear of real or imagined enemies, etc. The goal is to keep the bewildered herd bewildered. It's unnecessary for them to trouble themselves with what's happening in the world. In fact, it's undesirable -- if they see too much of reality they may set themselves to change it." --Noam Chomsky, What Uncle Sam Really Wants, 1993.
