Brief Explanation

A few days before Tunisia's first ever free elections, only 55% were planning to vote. Thus forgetting why they had overthrown Dictator Ben Ali. So we set up a provocative reminder in La Goulette. We put back Ben Ali's giant poster. The poster inevitably provoked the residents. But when they tore it down, they discovered another one underneath: BEWARE, DICTATORSHIP CAN RETURN. ON OCTOBER 23RD, VOTE. The event was turned into a viral video and it immediately spread via social networks.
