From the Director
Director Statement
“One could think that THE MASTERPIECE is the painting, or even this great short film! but it is actually the system, the fight behind the free market, the money, the capitalism, the North vs. the South, the West vs. East, the wealthy classes against everything else, playing with lives in that white and black squared board. Maybe the only real racism is economic? the rest is history…”
