An Epic, Samsonesque Struggle – Ariel Anderssen Studio

Let me tell you about one time I discovered a strength I didn’t know I had…

I found myself shackled to my very own bed, with steel restraints, thick chain and strong padlocks. At first, I struggled half-heartedly, knowing that I wouldn’t have a chance against the steel. But then, I reached inside myself for my reserves of strength and determination. Maybe I wasn’t the weak link here! Maybe, if I struggled as hard as I could, flexed my muscles to breaking point – maybe the chain would give instead!

Enjoy this struggling movie, punctuated by pieces to camera in which I reminisce about how it felt to fight powerfully against the restraints, gradually feeling more and more certain that I could beat them!
