Vid Rec of a Vid Rec?: Super Awesome Article on Chaila's Octavia Butler Vid!
I know, I know, I haven't been here in FOREVER, and I will be explaining that shortly, honest (it has something to do with Korean Television), but first, something awesome has come to my attention!

Really, go to read it. And then watch the vid if you haven't already. I don't even know these books, and I found it fantastic and powerful. To reuse my own comment -
I don't know the source but I love the vid and I think it's incredibly emotionally resonant. The desperation for escape, for revolution, for a radical act in this imprisoned environment is palpable. The use of the footage with the instrumental music is awesome. It leaves me with a real feeling of being on the brink of something and not knowing where it will lead. I found the sections about the state of the Earth particularly effective and clearly communicated. The sections about political repression and violence just broke my heart.
