Text:
In this fast moving and overblown
scratch-video the true account of the Story of Mankind is told in the space of 505
seconds. In a barrage of pictures, as if from a Stalin organ, real "scissor and
glue" collages are mixed with scratch-video collages of TV commercials, old
newsreels, trick and computer animation: cut precisely to the pulse of the original
musical score, the screen explodes in an absolutely insane and incoherent depiction of the
devolution of Mankind
