Bri Hayes researches and addresses social & political ideologies as well as the history of marginalized groups in America throughout her multimedia series, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."

The series’ title was inspired by Gil Scott-Heron’s song written in 1971 in response to social and political unrest. The issues Heron addressed in the 1970s are similar to the struggles many Americans still face today.

Throughout this series Hayes explores themes of identity, social justice, and restorative justice from a regional and national perspective. She aims to educate her viewers and challenge them to redefine the idea of what it means to be a revolutionary and live in a just world because “You will not be able to stay home, brother. You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out… because the revolution will not be televised.”
