ALT-J – TARO
2013-08-26Directed by Melissa Murray of The Ghetto Film School, this story takes inspiration from Robert Capa and his companion and partner Gerda Taro, who tragically died whilst covering the Spanish Civil War.
“When I heard alt-J’s ‘Taro,’ Chicago was the first location I thought to capture the energy in the song,” says Melissa Murray. “I wanted to put a spotlight on the violence that is going on there and have real faces to go along with those statistics. Having Capa and Taro’s story shown through the eyes of two young Chicagoan kids will hopefully hit home to those who have no idea what’s going on there.”
