Pacific Vein (2024)

An endless traveling through a picturesque panorama of the American West. Amidst faux-classic buildings, Julian Assange appears as a soda salesman reflecting on the digitalization of our world. All around him, hippies, artists and homeless people struggle to express themselves, their messages captured by surveillance cameras. Fictional scenes are mixed with documentary images. The empire is busy (with fitness and self-optimization) and nervous (with the military and guns) as the American Dream slips into a ghostly autosuggestion. Where is the enemy and who has the image rights?
