Kino Pravda 3G #1 brings to the foreground current images of global discontent: From the most recent G20 protests; the Green movement in Iran; the Red Shirts in Thailand; to student protests in the UK. We are witnessing not only the large-scale collapse of Capitalism but so too democracy’s inherent failures. While mainstream media’s repetitive slick images of riots create grand narratives, mobile phones in the hands of protestors, allow for the narration of their own stories. Public Studio scours Youtube to retell these stories in a serial format much like Vertov’s original newsreels.
