Justice - Stress


Justice - Stress from Freedom Record on Vimeo


We all remember watching La Haine, A Clockwork Orange, Fight Club, City of God, and most recently, City of Men and being horrified and saddened at the same time by the realism and poverty of these idyllic and romanticized cities. This short video, shot like a music video, so visually compelling, drawing us into the lives of the depicted thugs, that we become voyeurs, enjoying their senseless rampage in chaos and disorder. Check out the commentary about this video on Strictly Social. There's always this inherent need to theorize societies gone wrong. The bottom line is: the youth of tomorrow are idle, and if there isn't an infrastructure in place to engage them, there will always be this continued social breakdown.

Boys NEED Girls

Boys need Girls, because if they don't have us in their lives, this is the kind of stooopid shit they'll get into.



And we love them so...
