The video, created by Kapoor, is to advocate freedom of expression for Chinese Citizens. The video went viral fast and soon gained support from all different human rights organizations (if you look in the video in the beginning, they are all written on the white banner background.) He like Ai Weiwei, dances with handcuffs, symbolizing the restaint and persecution so many Chinese people face.
