RAS TEWELDE - DEMOCRACY IS HYPOCRISY - OFFICIAL VIDEO 2012

Starting with the famous speech of Malcolm X which gives the title to it, 'Democracy is Hypocrisy' recalls the Afro-American fight for equal rights and justice and expresses its strong appeal through an eventually soul contaminated beat. The video was shot in Naples, Ras Tewelde's hometown, and show us some significative locations, such as the N.A.T.O military base, reminding us that the system we are living in is based upon a critical contraddiction: a democracy not paying attention to the people and not respecting basic human principles of morality.
