This is a work about perception- there no image on the screen just yet
It isn't about the perception of small facts, it isn't about the physiology of perception
It's about the perception of self, it's about the meaning of truth
The definition of fact
This is a work about being done to
This is a work about learning how to think
What is the same, what is different
What is outside, what is inside
Like man is chicken, only here we deal with egg
It is a documentary record
It's about scrutiny on a mass level
About what has been and what could be
This is a work about coercion
Coercion can be quick and brutal; That is the worst crime
Coercion can also extend over the whole of life; That is the ordinary, the usual crime
Bureaucratic crime can be brutal or merely devastating. We need not make a choice
Evil demands only the systematic substitution of the abstract for the concrete
It demands only the de-realization of the human status of the people
On who you carry out your ideas and plans
Some of you have been living freely for decades
And others of you are still wondering how you can possibly live the lives that you were born to lead
But no matter how isolated, no matter how afraid
And no matter how alone you may feel today, know this
That we see you, we stand with you
And we will do everything we can to protect you going forward
And please know that history is on your side
This country was founded on the promise of equal rights for all
And it may not be easy, but we will get there together
It isn't about the perception of small facts, it isn't about the physiology of perception
It's about the perception of self, it's about the meaning of truth
The definition of fact
This is a work about being done to
This is a work about learning how to think
What is the same, what is different
What is outside, what is inside
Like man is chicken, only here we deal with egg
It is a documentary record
It's about scrutiny on a mass level
About what has been and what could be
This is a work about coercion
Coercion can be quick and brutal; That is the worst crime
Coercion can also extend over the whole of life; That is the ordinary, the usual crime
Bureaucratic crime can be brutal or merely devastating. We need not make a choice
Evil demands only the systematic substitution of the abstract for the concrete
It demands only the de-realization of the human status of the people
On who you carry out your ideas and plans
Some of you have been living freely for decades
And others of you are still wondering how you can possibly live the lives that you were born to lead
But no matter how isolated, no matter how afraid
And no matter how alone you may feel today, know this
That we see you, we stand with you
And we will do everything we can to protect you going forward
And please know that history is on your side
This country was founded on the promise of equal rights for all
And it may not be easy, but we will get there together
