Mama said is a recreation of a TV performance made by the popular 60’s group The Shirelles. Michael Costanza alternates between the newly made recording of the group’s success Mama Said and archival pictures from the violent racial clashes in the US of the 60’s.
Oh…my.
Watch this vid till the end. Guaranteed to send chills down your spine. (NB These are not the original Shirilles, this is A + production/costume design and genius direction)
