hope, fear and digital culture.

Excited?... im to say the very least & that's bc if you havent been alive the 
past couple months you'll really notice how the digital world has taken over our lives
allowing us to wake the hell up... shaping, viewing, and living our lives so differently than b4.


 It has created endless opportunities but what i can't help and wonder  what does this all mean??.. 
could a more democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature ? 
or has true talent drowned and  vanished during this "Fad
of digital and mass culture?


cultural democracy or mediocrity? This is what presspauseplay raises in this film

dickheads are "in"







love this it reminds me so much of rico and ahmad haha

“Sun on a Cloudy Day"


YEMEN'S YOUTH REVOLUTION 2011 from rooj on Vimeo.


The popular uprisings of Tunisia and Egypt sparked protests in many arab nations, sharing the same frustrations  as it's neighbors, they take to the streets. Yemen being one them.


Together all over the world, we demonstrate, stage sit-ins and call an end to the corruption.
Despite,  Yemen's LARGE  uneducated population, many of the youth will acknowledge that a  change in government is necessary for a better life and a democratic future. I am awe-struck by the  ability of egyptians to dance away  their tyranny while fighting heartache and tears. But it is that that gives me hope and reason to believe that the shadows of tyranny will be pushed away in Yemen too.

Unfortunately the political, social and economic conflicts in yemen are all tribal based so it is much more tricker and challenging for Yemeni's, but they have come this far so  change is inevitable.

First off, to all those in yemen, i hope you understand how powerful you are, continue to gain courage and inspiration because your voice and actions are what will bring the sun to forever  shine in Yemen on a cloudy day. an end to all things corrupt  is in your hands, you can do this!

the invisible : DRC, Uganda, and Sudan
