Reebook Allen Iverson Question Mid "Why Not Us?" animated video

In celebration of the release of the Question Mid "Why Not Us?" I was asked to create a series of paintings that were animated to tell the origin story of Allen Iverson's "why not us?" speech at the 2001 NBA all-star game. The second half of the film sheds light on contemporary examples of individuals and groups that defy the odds and break down boundaries.
