They Don’t Care About Us
This is the prison version of the music video for Michael Jackson’s “The Don’t Care About Us” in which stock footage of historic civil and human rights violence are juxtaposed with images of Jackson, a prisoner, in a cafeteria filled with prisoners banging their fists and chanting along with him. The video begins with school girls singing the lyrics behind a wired fence and ends with images of Jackson running up steps in an ally, not in prison. Jackson chooses lyrics that apply to a vast group of people instead of focusing on his own personal experiences suggesting a general mistreatment of all people by the powers that be.
