SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS

An impressionistic collage of the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, framed by Plato's warning that tyranny grows out of democracy.

A tense, scored montage turning a political convention into an ominous meditation on democracy.

“Tyranny is probably established out of no other regime than democracy […] the greatest and most savage slavery out of the extreme of freedom.” From Plato’s The Republic.
