this video documents the events from January 20, 2017, between 5:30pm - 10:45pm, when thousands of people took to the streets in Chicago to protest the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as 45th president of the USA.
the video's structure privileges temporal integrity by presenting these sights and sounds in the order they occurred. over five hours of protesting is condensed into this ten minute video.
while it was impossible to truly capture the energy and anxiety looming in the foggy night, this video documents one city's response to a historical moment - and the rhythm of the marchers, their chants, signs, songs, and actions as this group of bodies flowed through the streets of Chicago.
