The video focuses on power structures and patriarchal violence in our post-colonial society. I question how we begin the process of reconciliation without taking responsibility when the idea of privilege is deeply instilled within us. By drawing parallels from western popular culture and connecting antidote examples to daily routine activities such as walking a dog, the video adapts a pet dog’s behavior and scripts from television series Game of Thrones as metaphor for human instinctual desire to acquire control. The video suggests that dogs are trained to be docile but in reality, it questions whether we are disillusioned to believe that we hold a position of authority to control others’ free will.
