THE IDEA/
We wanted to experiment with Livestream, the Live Web TV platform that allows to broadcast live in Internet. This is how all this started. We realized that we could cover a global event connecting live with reporters from all over the planet. And most important, we could have fun doing fresh multimedia content.

THE EVENT/
In more than 140 countries, May 1 is celebrated as a workers’ holiday. May Day commonly sees organized street demonstrations and celebrations by hundreds of thousands of working people throughout the world. In the United States May Day has become a day to mobilize undocumented workers for immigration rights.
