The stark,breathtaking video for Jay-Z and Kanye West's No ''Church in the Wild'' is undoubtedly influenced by the recent demonstrations held by supporters of Occupy Wall Street and similar movements around the world.
Filmed in Prague,both rappers are absent from the five-minute video directed by French director Romain Garras.Filling the screen instead is a violent clash between protesters,looters and police.The video is jarring and uncomfortable to watch at points,but it's timelines and brutish beauty makes for compelling viewing.
