Profit Motive and the Whispering Wind

A visual meditation on the history of the American activism history as seen through cemeteries, historic plaques and markers. Inspired by Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States the film is an ode to those who fought for their beliefs, to the powerful presence of place and protest in history and to the America’s enduring landscape. With no voiceover narration or dialogues, it is punctuated with wind blowing images exemplifying the forgotten voices of the nation’s earliest victims and those who have disappeared from the American cultural memory, and whose spirit and legacy it’s relevant to today.
