Powerful words to not so powerful pictures.

Really sucks you can't even spell the name of your profession, kayman93.

I liked this animation. It leaves a feeling. That's what matters.

@Erreul I wish i could agree with you but the government/wall street/politicians/ and whoever the hell really IS in power in this country has been taking advantage of the citizens for decades, and this has been going on for hundreds of years in other parts of the world and is still going today. They do this so the rich can stay rich, and the poor can become poorer.

Seems another anarchist is trying to paint the governments with a black paint

@sircesare It is not, and the music is to loud, message to silent!

[heeejkal]

this was just bad... good script, but the pictures - you arranged it to give a powerful message, nevertheless, since you mixed symbols and scenes that do not match, the result is just miserably pathetic :(

@mowgli2071 thank you alot :) i will try find that and watch all : )

@AWitchProject: How I saw it was just renting the dvd from netflix. There's no source to watch free movies online, that has this, that I've found. The title of the dvd is "The People Speak", the directors that netflix credits are Chris Moore, Howard Zinn (btw, you can find it searching for this name), and Anthony Arnove. Staceyann Chin is not credited in the netflix page.

If you like this, you might also try: "Opening Celebration (Part 3) Stacyann Chin (part 1)" here on YT.

@mowgli2071 Hi , could i ask you where i can find this original Speach? Thank you : )

[mowgli2071]

Sad that the rest of the Marge Piercy poem is not shown. The original segment appears to be a part of the one from Howard Zinn's movie "The People Speak". In that segment, which falls towards the end, the title is given ("The Low Road" -Marge Piercy), and the whole poem is recited, with small deviations from the original text. The end is FAR more inspiring than the beginning.
