The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die music video


Director: Paul Dugdale
Producer: Cordelia Plunket

Directed by Paul Dugdale, the video features British actor Noel Clarke, known for his roles in Doctor Who and Kidulthood.

In the video, Clarke's character embarks on a journey through the British countryside, encountering or creating The Prodigy's iconic "ant" logo along the way. His journey takes him past various eerie and atmospheric locations, including the acoustic mirrors at Denge and, in the final scene, standing atop one of the Maunsell Forts in the Thames Estuary. The locations chosen, often post-industrial and desolate, mirror the album’s themes of defiance and rebellion.

For a few seconds, you can see the band in the video.

The Maunsell Forts were small fortified towers built in the Thames and Mersey estuaries during the Second World War to help defend the United Kingdom. They were operated as army and navy forts, and named after their designer, Guy Maunsell. The forts were decommissioned in the late 1950s and later used for other activities. One of the forts is managed by the unrecognised Principality of Sealand; boats visit the remaining forts occasionally, and a consortium called Project Redsands is planning to conserve the fort situated at Redsand. Extensive filming at the Redsand Towers was carried out during October 2008. This includes some dramatic aerial footage which the band have kindly donated to Project Redsand. Don’t worry, the ant on the roof is only theatrical paint and got washed away on the first rainy day.
