300 / Part Four: Righteous Rage, Stochastic Terror
Everything changed after the 3rd Precinct fell.
In 2020, a pandemic began to course its way through the collective body, and the dead began to pile up. Tens of millions of U.S. citizens lost their jobs, and the capitalist system shuttered. As it turns out, these are the perfect conditions for revolt.
On May 25th, George Floyd was murdered by a white police officer in the streets of Minneapolis. Everyone saw the video, and it was undeniable. We witnessed something as old as this country itself play out, again. Riots broke out, but this time, the righteous rage persisted and spread.
Each of these nine interviews, interwoven with commentary, documents this time of expansive unrest and stochastic terror.
