“A colossal cinematic achievement” —Richard Brody, The New Yorker

These include texts by hannah baer, Theaster Gates, Jamieson Webster, Jared Sexton, Mary Ping, Shana Redmond, and Leila Taylor, alongside excerpts from Naomi Klein, Coleson Whitehead, Maggie Nelson, Carol J. Clover, Michael Harrington, and Paul Laurence Dunbar, and a constellation of images, definitions, and inspirations that extend the themes of the film.
