Following up the artful symbolism of&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/04/21/will-young-river-wiz">Like A River</a>, WIZ&#39;s&nbsp;video for Will Young&#39;s Brave Man follows a young man as he calmly sets out on a outstanding act of bold defiance. He takes his clothes off in a pub, and walks naked through an English&nbsp;seaside town - his courage magnified by the fact he is a transgender individual.As he walks naked and vulnerable through Brighton&#39;s dark and windy streets, he is targeted by&nbsp;snarky girls&nbsp;and chipshop bullies.&nbsp;The video works by displaying this extraordinary act in a real, almost low-key environment.&nbsp;All the better to draw the viewer in to reflect upon&nbsp;the huge&nbsp;uphill battle of trans people - among the most discriminated minorites in society &ndash;&nbsp;who are demanding acceptance for who they are.The narrative is punctuated occasionally by the mournful presence of Will Young. He has less screen time than in any of his previous videos, but Brave Man may prove to be his most influential, in drawing <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/oct/20/brave-man-video-trans-transgender-jack-monroe" target="_blank">media&nbsp;attention</a> to an important&nbsp;issue. Look out for&nbsp;Will Young and WIZ&nbsp;talking about the video on Channel Four News, very soon.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Will Young 'Brave Man' by WIZ

WIZ is back with this&nbsp;dark,&nbsp;beautiful&nbsp;interpretation of&nbsp;Will Young&#39;s Like A River, from his upcoming album 85% Proof.As with their previous collaborations, WIZ engages the serious aspect of Will&#39;s persona (this is more than a world away from the singer&#39;s previous video for&nbsp;<a href="http://www.promonews.tv/videos/2015/04/08/will-young-love-revolution-chino-moya" target="_blank">Love Revolution</a>) to tell an ambitious, dramatic, extravagantly visual&nbsp;story - regardless of the resources.Through shadows and light - this is shot by Daniel Landin &ndash; it&#39;s a direct retelling of a classic of Greek mythology. Will is Theseus, heading into the Labyrinth to do battle with the Minotaur...
