Sic Semper Tyrannis | RNC 2016

“Tyranny is probably established out of no other regime than democracy […] the greatest and most savage slavery out of the extreme of freedom.” From Plato’s The Republic. A personal project filmed and edited at the 2016 Republic National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio, and crafted with a healthy suspicion for those who promise a way to fix all your problems without specifying the means.
