The video was not commissioned by any artist and thus the creators own 100% of the rights to the material."
"In 2020, Yellow Room, in collaboration with the creators, repurposed the video for the Gauteng provincial government to raise awareness on the increasing surge of Covid-19 cases in Gauteng communities."
