Algiers ‘Cleveland’ Video

Algiers' second album 'The Underside Of Power' have been quite the talk of 2017. Continuing to address issues such as police brutality, political corruption and more, the band have now brought forth the video for the powerful track 'Cleveland'. Filmed in New York City , clips of the Black Panther Party are weaved in between frantic, high contrast images of singer Franklin James Fisher performing the song in the streets of Brooklyn and Staten Island, the places of the police killings of Eric Garner and Akai Gurley. The video is directed by Algiers, along with Marisa Gesualdi and Sam Campbell. Have a look.
