YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFilmmaker Boots Riley joins Jordan Klepper to break down the absurdist, comedic world of his new film, “I Love Boosters,” and how it uses fashion and shoplifting culture to interrogate capitalism. Riley argues that working within capitalism is unavoidable, but the goal should always be to help the working class build the kind of collective power that can actually change policy. He also asserts that great art should push people toward action long after the credits roll and reminds the audience that films like this only get made when audiences show up. #DailyShow #BootsRiley #ILoveBoosters #JordanKlepper
