The video combines drama and performance, allowing our young artists to showcase their writing, dramatic and performance art skills and talents. Conquer All! addresses three prevalent themes impeding the success of young people today; the false lure of the security of gang membership and the violence infused into this sense of belonging, the prevalence of homelessness and burdens that youth tackle to survive through school and the streets, while seeking physically and emotionally safety, body images and the pressure to visibly fit into a stereotype for acceptance into groups, friendship circles and mostly to have acceptance of oneself.
