-----------

This 5-minute piece was made as a video loop. Stark, frontal portraits of former political prisoners from Tibet – young, old, lay and religious – are intercut with images of unrest and police brutality from the Lhasa uprisings of March 1988 and March 1989 and set to haunting music by the English composer, Julian Stewart Lindsay.
