Definitely neat.
I really liked your symbolism with the hammer, when the working slave hit the soldier with it, it was kind of like a resurgeance, what they oppressed them to work with tumbled them down, I don't know if this was intentional but it was neat. I also loved how you used quotes, this enriched the film. The only thing I could suggest is you try to clean up your art a bit more, because at some points you could see the white under your backgrounds and lines sticking out and things. It only takes a few minutes more to fix these things and in the end it's worth it. A couple of more gradient lighting effects would be good too, but I think you might have been trying to avoid gradients in this one, so in that case it's ok. A little more animation would also be welcome, although the stills worked for this piece. Good luck with your future stuff, friend, keep it up!
