Born Free
WARNING: This video contains “bad” words, brief nudity & graphic violence towards the end…However if you can get past that I feel this is an interesting commentary considering recent political events. I would love to hear your thoughts on this.-pierre bennu

Whoe! MIA, MIA, MIA. This this is a serious piece of work, here. I watched it as I listened to a shoot out followed by police sirens and then helicopters or “ghetto birds” as I sat peacefully on the back porch of a friends home in the West End of Atlanta, Georgia. What comes to mind is how so many people will not get this perspective, this commentary. And how so many of us don’t think beyond the main stream…never to feel the presence of the moon or the birds song. ginger

It’s sad to say, but when you put white faces to it, the scenario feels fictitious. It feels like a movie–exaggerated. now replace the ginger headed boys with people of color. the scenario is less fictitious. this is real life for many. lived. living. terrorism is perpetrated by the same people claiming to fight it. the irony in that runs deeper than language permits.
