Juxtaposed against the syncopated chants and poetry of Amiri Baraka, the short-film-cum-music-video US uses images from the 1930s silent film A Study in Negro Artists and other found footage to evoke the cyclical tradition of transmutation in diasporic artforms.

ReVerse Bullets is a rotating lineup of filmmakers, musicians and visual artists founded by filmmaker Jon-Carlos Evans in New York City in 2009.
