Riley channels class struggle into comedy

Boots Riley, known for his work in film and music, draws upon his background as a community organizer to infuse his latest feature, 'I Love Boosters,' with anti-establishment and pro-worker themes. This film represents a clear articulation of his long-held belief in the need for societal revolution. Elements of its anti-capitalist message can also be found in his earlier song 'I Love Boosters!' from 2006, produced for his hip-hop group The Coup, showcasing a consistent political undercurrent in his artistic endeavors.
