Lex Lucas’s experimental music film is a powerful and socially charged exploration of the intersection between art, activism, and injustice. Partially dramatizing the protest song ‘Enough is Enough’ by SoSala, the film sheds light on the Justice For Jazz Artists Campaign – initiated by New York’s Musicians Union Chapter Local 802. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of a significant issue: the mishandling of funds meant for musicians’ pension payments after the elimination of certain sales taxes at live jazz shows.

The film immerses viewers in the struggle faced by artists, vividly brought to life by the band and lead singer Sohrab Saadat Ladjevardi, along with Tim Schuebel’s compelling portrayal of a defiant club owner refusing to pay the band. Through the lens of music and drama, the film captures the essence of social justice, highlighting the challenges, betrayals, and resilience of musicians.

‘Enough is Enough’ doesn’t just stop at raising awareness; it evokes a visceral response, aided by an edgy, raw energy that permeates every frame. Lex Lucas skillfully combines storytelling with music, creating a compelling narrative that resonates deeply, making viewers reflect on the plight of artists and the urgent need for change. It’s a captivating and thought-provoking cinematic experience, offering a fresh perspective on the power of music in addressing social issues.
