Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989)

Directed by Dominic Sena

Overview

The music video for recording artist Janet Jackson’s single “Rhythm Nation” was directed by Dominic Sena. It was filmed as part of the long-form video Rhythm Nation 1814 Film at a power plant located in Pasadena, California. The video is notable for its “post-apocalyptic” warehouse setting, the unisex black military-style uniforms in which Jackson and her dancers were outfitted, and its choreography, considered to “set the template for hundreds of videos to come in the Nineties and aughts.”
