The film was inspired by the Sward and Roman’s participation in group studies on the Davis Occupy Movement. All image and sound in the video is appropriated from Aggie TV and YouTube footage. Sward explains that, “the imagery not from the events surrounding November 18th were taken from advertisements for the Aggie Pack (the girl getting hit by a football player), the band, and students at a sporting event.”
Congratulations, Meredith and Natalie!
