Wow....intense, heavy, no hope, bleak, despair, cold, dead.

[xyzllii]

@zuniga6412 I hope zuniga...that i did not come over as too negative...but it was /is a very negative situation...thanks for your comment..

[zuniga6412]

@xyzllii : I love how you can show a side of life that most don't see all the time. You are a fine artist. What you show is a raw and naked reality. I was putting myself in the picture and feeling what it would be like to be in that situation. In reality i know i could not take prison life. I would take myself out. You have a very special gift.

@zuniga6412 Thank you zuniga.

Yea, quite a distressing, but necessary, film. You researched your pictures well, and the soundtrack/sound-effects, too

[xyzllii]

@andrewnorris2 Well thanks...I don't know why I made this ...other than expressing an emotional reaction to such injustice.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll need to find out more about the Angola 3. Where did you hear about them? Was there a documentary? Or just a news report?

[xyzllii]

@mnolanporter I read about this man called King....Horrific story to me...

From heaven comes hell. Sometimes in hell we find heaven. Thus is the sole of man. Thus is the human mind.

@AxeMoose Thanks for your comment..

Ever noticed how no-one talks about Angola these days?

Pretty much the same as no-one talked about Romania in the eighties......or Auschwitz in the forties..nor Treblinka...or Sobibor...or Belzec...or Birkenhau.

Bamba Fodla and Eire??

[xyzllii]

@gypsyjazzer Eileen Grey. Harry Clarke...!

@xyzllii ...Sorry...still too cryptic for my feeble brain

!!! Stunning! I agree with Ida that it is important to look at the potential for human ignorance and cruelty -- but I don't think we can fix it which is why it is so important to look at it, look for it, assume it, never forget that it is born anew with every person and we are all it's mother and father. You did a really good job with this, k.

@liz1060 Thanks for your comment and support Liz...

I think it is important to look at the ignorance and cruelty humans are capable of and to fix it. The visuals in your film are impressive. Well-put -together work.

[Poemsapennyeach]

@Idlinfarm Thanks Idlin......it is awful that we treat each other so...

[Hellishcrusade]

@Idlinfarm - Ever watched a video made by PETA of what goes on in an abboitoire?

- I did ...and regretted it.

Seeing horror like that stuns your soul.

You can give up being part of it...but, regrettably, you're still a human.
