Coup d'Etat Math
Coup d'etat Math is an animated short that depicts four stories that speak to the complex equation of each immigrant’s journey. Purposely ambiguous in place and time, each story builds upon the other – like battle raps of struggle – a fight to be born, to survive, to find a place, and to go on in the face of immeasurable loss. Written and Directed by Dallas-filmmaker Sai Selvarajan.
