POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
In They Live, special sunglasses reveal a hidden reality. In our society, they can be seen as the ability to see beyond the surface. Suddenly, advertisements have a different meaning, messages appear behind ordinary signs, and surveillance systems become impossible to ignore. But not everyone wants to see it and many fight to avoid seeing it. Once you do, you may realize that reality is very different from what you thought and what they had taught you, and that some people lose what makes them human. They have become consumed by extreme greed, pursuit of power, and submission, surrendered who they truly are. 
The final part of the video features political posters and images placing figures such as Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Benjamin Mileikowski (Netanyahu) into the visual language of They Live, created by the group Bad Taste For A Good Cause based in San Francisco.
