Director: Lauren Tabak

“We The Common (For Valerie Bolden)” is taken from Thao & The Get Down Stay Down’s album ‘We The Common’ out now on Ribbon Music.

Thao Nguyen and director Lauren Tabak share some words about the video:

“This song was inspired by a poignant, candid and unshakable conversation with Valerie Bolden, a woman serving life without parole in the California state prison system. At its core, this song is about people collecting their energy and taking care of one another, and all the joy and celebration inherent in such an act. Visually, we wanted to capture this joy and lighter moments of our every day human interactions while touring and sharing this new record.”
