‘We the People’s H.E.R., Peter Ramsey, and Chris Nee on Using Music and Animation to Affect Change
Created by Chris Nee and executive produced by Kenya Barris and Barack and Michelle Obama, the Netflix original series We the People is comprised of ten music videos, each their own original song performed by an incredible line-up of artists and animated in a mix of styles. Covering a range of basic U.S. civics lessons to educate young Americans about the power that each of us has within us, each three-minute short helps recontextualize what government and citizenship mean in a modern world in which the power really is with the people.
During this virtual interview with Collider, which you can both watch and read, singer/songwriter H.E.R. (who co-wrote and performed the song “Change” for the episode entitled “Active Citizenship”), episode director Peter Ramsey and Nee talked about how this project evolved with such an incredible line-up of talent, writing a song with purpose, matching the animation to that song, why songwriting is like having a superpower, and the ability to make social and political change through art.
