This is a video of my real-life experience traveling to both Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, Brazil to the location Michael Jackson used to create his amazing music video "They Don't Care About Us". I visited both the favela Santa Marta in Rio where he filmed the first part of the video.
Secondly, I flew to Salvador Bahia where he collaborated with the Brazilian group Olodum for tehe second part of the video. In Salvador, I entered the building Michael used to film his balcony scene and the courtyard of Pelourinho Square, Bahia.
It was an unforgettable experience and I am forever grateful for the opportunity I had to visit both locations.
Twenty-five years ago, Michael Jackson and Olodum, the iconic Afro-Brazilian musical band, teamed up to film the music video for ‘They don’t care about us.’ Spike Lee was hired to make the short film for the song.
The film was shot in Salvador, Brazil on Feb.9. This date is known as the day when Michael Jackson took over Salvador, because the whole city literally stopped to see the King of Pop performing in the streets of the historic Pelourinho- a neighborhood that is located in the center area of Salvador.
As Spike Lee explained during a presentation at TedX Brooklyn in 2013, Michael wanted him to make a “short film, not a music video” for a song from the upcoming album ‘HIStory.’
After the two agreed on the song, they traveled to Brazil, where Lee recommended using the Olodum drum team as part of the film production- the same musicians Paul Simon employed for his chart-topping album, ‘Rhythm of the Saints.’ The song goes as follow:
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
Don't worry what people say, we know the truth
All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
