Does anyone remember an amazing video (poem)from a few years ago here on DU... |
|
It was a poem, with 20 or so different people each saying a line, in new York. I used to watch it over and over and get tears in my eyes. I can't remember the name at all. I remember reading about the filmmaker. He is (was) a young black man in film school. Someone sent him the poem and he made the video. If anyone can remember even the name, i am looking for it. thank-you!

One which was uploaded to the Current TV website of the time.
It was after the 2004 election, and the theme was that it's the workers who built America, etc.
