Fast and furious vocal sampling makes an epic monologue style. The black American experience gets a re-working whereupon a new world is envisaged. A world wherein the American dream is synonymous with black homosexual utopia. A talking head faces the camera and constructs his own speech after Martin Luther King.

Themes: Politics & protest
