LA based Slash Dynamic director Gregor Nicholas has teamed up with rock band Capital Theatre to direct a bold and daring music video, Force To Fight

Force To Fight which takes on the current volatile climate in the U.S. Released on the eve of the election, the film is an allegorical satire which touches on the conflict between the extreme factions in American society that are tearing at the fabric of its democracy. 

The boxing ring becomes a metaphor for a nation convulsed by division, its factions encouraged by their leader to meet violence with violence.

In the video, a Trump-like figure presides over a series of fights in a ring. Greta Thunberg fights a Big Oil Boss. A BLM Activist fights the notorious Karen Thumb while her husband Ken clutches his AR-15 as he screams encouragement. An LGBQTI+ Vogue Dancer squares off against an anti-gay Christian Evangelist. The alt-right meme Pepe the Frog dukes it out with a feminist Antifa activist. The Trump figure fuels the conflict and the tension builds to the premium fight of the evening: a BLM Activist versus a Proud Boy White Supremacist. The dramatic fights epitomize the very real strife within the country between these groups which are currently at odds with each other.
