Luka Lesson on “Please Resist Me”

We *love* Luka Lesson’s “Please Resist Me”. Luka told us that “Please Resist Me is a response to oppression in Australia. It is a call to empowerment for those constantly bombarded by reminders in Australia that different isn’t good enough.”

“With members from South Sudanese, Greek, Korean, Malaysian, Lebanese, Zimbabwean, Aboriginal and many more communities the video epitomizes the strength and resilience of Australians from all walks of life.

“Please Resist Me however is not angry, nor does it ostracise other other members of the community. Please Resist Me is a call to all who have felt marginalized in their lives, which is something we can all relate to on some level.”
