Music: SONIC YOUTH

This video was created by de-editing (removing all slow motions, replays, voiceovers, etc) police chase footage from many sources and editing each situation to play through once in real time. I then matched it up with music from selected live rock concert recordings obtained from Sonic Youth.  There is particular emphasis on post-car crash foot chases. This video explores these individuals desperate grip on liberty against the state as they run it down to its most intense human elements in cars, on motorcycles and on foot.

Thanks to Lee Ranaldo and Sonic Youth for assistance with the music.
