Watch anytime between September 11-21. A radical horror protest against genocide. A magic-less teenager proving herself in roller derby. A dancer’s body changing. A trans man’s plans undone by rain. Friends around a bonfire getting real. A woman turning grief into fight.

Set in Oakland, Watermelon in Wintertime is a radical horror music video following a being who embodies society’s outcasts. Compelled to exist, in spite of systemic violence, physical and spiritual warfare and their mental health.
