Gimme the Power
Sound + Vision 2013
July 26 - August 1, 2013
After tracing the political history of Mexico, Gimme the Power introduces us to four-time Latin Grammy winning rock band Molotov who, despite their success, have kept their identity as a contentious, left-wing, protest band.
Gimme the Power starts by tracing the political history of Mexico, from colonization to dictatorship to democracy. Then, true to rock’s form, the band Molotov explodes on stage with critiques of the government’s policies and the state of Mexico today. Despite having won the Latin Grammy Awards four times since 1995, Molotov keeps its identity as a contentious, left-wing, protest band. Rubio’s film works off their message to create one of his own.
