The Overthrow Series

The Overthrow Series - Trailer

This project came to life after a series of trips to New York City. Activists, musicians, and community leader Power Malu, whom we met and connected with, initially inspired this series of videos. Yet the project, whose goal is to depict and share the life and stories of numerous athletes, was only effectuated with the creative mind of Chris Thaller (Head of Creative Projects at Adidas Runtastic) and Power Malu on board.
