From Despair to Hope

I questioned whether or not the video should or should not have a negative connotation because of the background music. I decided to try and make the video different from what the melody is portraying. So I made the images at first with a negative influence to a positive influence as if to say what if we take all of these negative ideas and events and try to turn them into something positive? What if these negative events have led to positive outcomes of change? For instance, a riot influences better wages. Everything was done on Canva, with creative commons and open-sourced media available through Flickr and then I uploaded it to Vimeo.
