"Life is something special, that you can only get one time"
Someone told me there was nothing good left in the world till I came here.
It's about a nation, outside of sex, gender, race and class- It's about family.
What is a Juggalo? It's a surgeon, a student, a mother, a father, it's family according to this documentary about the people who take part in the annual "Gathering of The Juggalos", a celebration of fans of the music group "The Insane Clown Posse".
There music is metaphorical storytelling, set upon the backdrop of a carnival,, through song, which suggests the Juggalo reflect on their inward self to change themselves before "the end consumes us all"
This is the America rarely seen. One in which the youth of America has had to form their own culture outside of capitalism, and Wall Street. Similar to the vagabonds of days of old, or other sub-cultures, it facilitates a stark contrast to mainstream America.
These people have banded together in exile, because they've been thrown out by society, or didn't fit in to the expectations of the American life. They've found happiness, when the world wanted to bring them to misery. That's a remarkable thing, one in which Capitalists should fear. If America no longer needs to be told what to buy, and how to be happy- then why do we need them? Perhaps there's a bit of Juggalo in all of us?
