Working Class Hero - Green Day

This adaptation of John Lennon's Working Class Hero is a powerful look into the atrocities that are occurring over seas in areas where acts against humanity are existent in everyday life. The video begins in a documentary style where people are being interviewed about their personal experiences with these issues.The music in the video is merely a backdrop for the stories of the individuals. High contrast and a black and white color scheme give a great dramatic tone to the video and helps convey the emotion in the refugees' stories. Also contributing to the visuals, the tight camera shots that close in on the faces really capture the essence of the these people as they share their lives to the camera.
