Content Notes: This attempts to be a recruiter vid but some spoilers are inevitable. Fast cuts and flashing lights, speed changes. US network television-type violence. Some violence against African-American slaves is shown but that is not the primary topic, and there are no Black character deaths. Animal harm. Feel free to ask specific questions about content.

Fuck. Yes. Beautiful set up of the characters and I really love how the quieter bits within the song were edited too, like the kiss. Knowing the source, I really appreciate the use of writing and using the stars to figure out the map. OMGYES bulletproof using Rosalee and Ernestine. And I love the section of Cato and Ernestine because of the cast, they were the two with motives and reasoning not outright revealed to the viewer. Not the way Noah wanted to run and was transparent about that. Excellent use of the superhero angle shot as Rosalee comes out. So good.
