We (2005)

Director: Unknown aka Anon Producer: Unknown aka Anon Genre: Documentary, Web, Essay Country: New Zealand Language: English The world politics of power, war, corporations, deception and exploitation. This is an unusual kind of underground production. An anonymous sympathiser has edited a video recording of Roys speech over 64 minutes, interspersing an impressive array of archival footage to illustrate themes and specific historical events. Contemporary music overlaid throughout the piece shifts the mood and quickens the pace. The result is a visual essay rather than a traditional documentary, perfectly suited to its creators intentions, which is to spread the antiimperialist, social justice politics of Arundhati Roy everywhere. The film combines her speech Come September with a widevariety of video footage and music including Curve, Nine Inch Nails, Love and Rockets, Placebo, Tortoise, Faithless, Dead Can Dance, Amon Tobin, Massive Attack, and Boards of Canada.
