Sounds of the March, Stockton
Posted by 260 Miles of Blogging on Apr 12
On Saturday, we marched around 12 miles from Manteca to Stockton. As Sacramento draws closer, I've started work on a final 10 minute video that tries to encapsulate our incredible 48-day journey. There's seemingly an infinite number of angles from which to create a story because we have crossed paths with so many people in so many places. One way to kind of wrap my way around this experience has been to divide the march into different themes. One theme is "sounds," the different sounds of the march. The cries of "Tax the rich and not the poor." "Si Se Puede!" The variety of music emanating from the sound truck. Drums. Conversations. Speeches.
On our way to Stockton, The Brass Liberation Organization, a band of saxophone players and drummers added their own unique sound to the march. The cheers were guided by the rhythm of upbeat jazz tunes. Our feet too...
We arrived in Stockton in no time!
