David Rovics - The Riot Dog
Loading...
Uploaded by Khezerghul on Jun 19, 2011
Loukanikos, Louk, Thodoris; Like many other heroic figures through time, this brave riot dog goes under a lot of names.
Louk is a stray dog living on the streets of Athens, Greece; and has become famous for joining in on the many protests and riots which have taken place there the past year. Often found at the front lines dodging tear gas and barking at the police; he has become a mascot for the protesters, and a symbol for the ongoing fight.
As a part of the American musician Davis Rovics' "Big Red Sessions"-album (free for download on his webpage www.davidrovics.com), "Riot Dog" is David's salute to this brave dog's fight for justice in the economic turmoil that has hit Greece.
Animated by the Norwegian Flash-animator Bjørn-Magne Stuestøl (www.shagrat.net) in collaboration with David Rovics.
A high quality Flash edition of the animation can be seen here:

Enjoy; and let's all hear it for Loukanikos; The riot dog!

@6ch6ris6 We can probably discuss until the end of time the pros and cons of the concept of having nations, but since the story of Loukanikos takes place in Athens; my though was to add a Greek flag just to underline that detail. Could also have added the Akropolis and a lot of old statues; but felt that would take away a bit of the "that could be here"-feeling.
That's my two cents anyhow. ;)
