In this collaborative episode between Contain and Rave New World, my friend Barrett and I make it to the UCLA student protest encampment just hours before it was violently shut down by the authorities. Slipping past plywood barricades into the graffiti-bombed "liberated zone," we discover an anxious scene of protestors gearing up for a confrontation with the police, as snipers prowl the roof and police helicopters whirr overhead. Through conversations with a contrasting cast of characters—from a conservative YouTuber to a communist cowboy, Muslim-American students and a Jewish activist—this episode presents a kaleidoscopic view of the chaotic, complex reality unfolding in-real-time.
