The Conductor

"A video essay of my current state" Jeremy Mann

The iconic cat and mouse rivals are back in a fresh take on the classic series. Preserving the look, characters and sensibility of the original, this series shines a brightly colored, high-definition lens on the madcap slapstick and never-ending battle that has made Tom and Jerry two of the most beloved characters of all time.

Liz Baxter, who works as a nanny for a prominent, has a white family in Oakland, California, during the rise of the Black Panther Party in 1967. When Liz discovers that the Connor children are suffering under the hand of their mother, Jane, and attempts to step in to protect the children, she’s accused of participating in a Black Panther conspiracy.
