The music video for “Rhythm Nation” was directed by Dominic Sena, serving as the final inclusion in Jackson’s long-form Rhythm Nation 1814 film. It portrays rapid choreography within a “post-apocalyptic” warehouse setting, with Jackson and her dancers adorned in unisex military attire. It was filmed in black-and-white to portray the song’s theme of racial harmony. Jackson’s record label attempted to persuade her against filming the video, but upon her insistence it became “the most far-reaching single project the company has ever attempted.” |
