Video Activism: The Battle for America


Directed by Alrick Brown and written by Max Skolnik, The Battle for America, came to life shortly after the 2004 elections. The piece was one of the most popular videos that ever landed on current.tv. It was also one of the first videos that I saw on the website and it really made me understand the impact one video could have. It also helped me to understand that current.tv was not just another lame video site featuring crazy stunts, but an actual outlet for creative minds wishing to make a real impact on society today. This video is a great example of fusing poetry, film, and politics to inspire. For more information on this video and the story behind it visit director Alrick Brown's website
