"Obedience", video, 2006


 

The Miracle Family March was a black islamic anti-war rally which took place in London 2004. the message was for Christians and Muslims to unite and obey a common god. The simple solution for world peace. The posturing, showmanship, sound-bites and children's choir performing a Michael Jackson song are pure spectacle put on simply to entertain a crowd of already converted. I, the cameraman was frequently stopped and interrogated by the imposing bouncer-like security, as to my motives for using my free right to freely move and film this display of freedom of speech. This films deconstructs these events to show the sinister hold religion has on so many people.
