MJ DAY
American Absurdism
by Malik Isasis



Spike Lee inspired me to become a filmmaker when I was sixteen. So, when he decided to throw a birthday party for Michael Jackson, in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, I had to pack up my film camera and record the goings on.

It was both fun and disturbing the deification of Michael Jackson, a man, who reminds me of Benjamin Buttons, aging backwards. He was a child genius who was an old soul, who became a man, with the soul of a child.

If we can only get people to muster like this for healthcare.
