This animated short I feel make a great commentary on our white capitalist patriarchy society that is set in place. In the narrative it follows an black man in the future who wins highly advertised lottery to be a mega star. In the short the contrast between the white world and the ghetto is huge. I believe the creators want comment on the difference in conditions between the rich white society and the slums. The type of media in the short n has some parallels to the media playing now. In their media, they had idealized white people on the screen being hypersexualized to sell pretty much everything. The black man being bombarded with this and fantasizes about it constantly. He actually does win, but it turns out to be a hoax. I believe the short is trying to say you can't be them. If you try you are only perpetuating the white capitalist patriarchy society around you. It also doesn't just effect you either but the people around you.
