Representing the "Silent Majority"
Dark Cloud | Unity is Strength is a video created by the Emperial Group to represent a perspective shared by the "Silent Majority" during a time when both social pressure and mass media influence, coupled with unprecedented mandates and controls implemented by the government, left many feeling helpless and without a voice. This was a time in history when freedom of speech was granted only to government officials and their supporters, while the threat of legal consequences for non-compliance meant that very few people were prepared to challenge the status quo. Regardless of how unjust, unfounded or unnecessary the mandates appeared to be, they continued to be enforced leading to huge divides throughout the country and ever increasing conflicts between families, friends, parents, educators, employers and employees.
On May 8, 2021, the Emperial Group launched Beyond the Pandemic, a groundbreaking local television series designed to foster balanced conversations, reveal impactful stories, and offer practical solutions to help communities navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond the Pandemic stood as a beacon of hope and understanding, encouraging collaboration and dialogue to help Bermuda recover and move forward together. This lead to the launching of The C.A.S.T.
The Collective Action Solidarity Trust.
