Not nice things

And opposite, the Capitol does the same by throwing out lots of interviews with Peeta who explains that we must lay down our arms, that the Capitol is nice and that peace is good, which sounds a bit like a speech by a Miss France, but chubby. Until the day when Katniss, on the banks of a river, finds herself surrounded by mockingjays. The camera crew with her thinks it's cool, and one of them, probably stoned from years of talent shows, asks Katniss if she wouldn't like to... sing.
But, my dear sir! What does this have to do with sauerkraut?
And luckily, Katniss doesn't sing " Dudule's Dick " but a song that goes something job function email database like this:
"You asked me to meet at the tree
to do nice things.
The tree where weird things happen.
Somewhere between Renan Luce and Sébastien Patoche, her song upsets everyone around her, and so it is immediately designated to serve as the soundtrack for the next propaclip. So Electro starts the broadcast, where the rotten song is added over images of Katniss visiting the ruined District 12 (she went back a second time to fill in the film time, and so that Gale could explain how the bombing took place and killed 9,000 people out of 10,000 inhabitants; that's true Gale, but why did you explain all that this time instead of the first time, when you left Katniss wandering alone among the ruins and corpses without any explanation or support? Didn't you want to? Were you sulking? Do you want an air vent too?).
The effect is immediate.
In District 5, where the dam that powers the Capitol is located, the population starts singing the song and advances en masse towards the dam, but without weapons, because... because they don't have mushroom spots where you can find them. Then, they throw themselves at the Peacekeepers' machine guns defending the strategic point, until the civilians break them by sheer numbers. Once that's done, they plant explosives in the dam, and rather than blowing them up once they're safe, they just blow them up right there. Well, not quite: they set them to " Blow in 5 seconds ," which is really stupid considering that when the dam breaks, the water might run faster than you guys.
And that's exactly what's happening.
