“Our brainstorm session was more of a conversation about politics and our responsibility as artists to respond, react, and resist the social and political injustices we find ourselves in today,” explains director Kena Tangi Dorsey. “Even though the message is political, I still wanted to make it sexy, entertaining and an aesthetically beautiful video to watch.
