WATCH: John Legend Releases New Video “Surefire”.

Directed by Cole Wiley, this heart-wrenching video looks at the theme of forbidden love between a young Muslim girl and a Hispanic boy. It also looks at the themes of immigration, religion, prejudice and eternal faith.

"We are more capable of doing more good than ever before, but we are still mired by a myriad of systemic failures that continue to arise because of our continuing lack of empathy towards others. That is why Jamila and Roberto, the star-crossed lovers featured in the 'Surefire' music video, face a number of obstacles that are heavily rooted in the current state of America. Fear of immigration, religious bigotry and many other forms of prejudice are contaminating our cultural landscape on a daily basis”, Wiley said in a statement about the video.
