A Story Never Told
(because it went wrong)
In 2020, I set out to protest against the imprisonment of Assange at the Brit Awards. Our plan was to project "Free Assange" onto the stage during the live show. We successfully made it to the red carpet, but that was where our progress halted. Security confiscated half of our equipment. The lenses we managed to sneak inside were „unfortunately“ too weak. Perhaps it was for the best, as disrupting other people's parties isn’t my style. (Looking back, I realize I was quite fortunate. Disrupting such an expensive BBC production could have been quite costly.) In the end, I resorted to simply holding my sign up to the camera. It was quite disheartening, as it seemed that 99 out of 100 attendees had no idea who Assange was.
That evening, it became clear to me that the real enemy was ignorance.
