but through its musical shifts and tone,<br />
and its vision of the world as a newly<br />
optimistic place, Wah Do Dem<br />
D<br />
(What <strong>The</strong>y Do) creates a strong<br />
and profound emotional narrative.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> story of Wah Do Dem is detailed<br />
on the film’s website: “Wah Do Dem<br />
co-creators, Ben Chace and Sam<br />
Fleischner have been friends since<br />

trip into a project.” For more information<br />
