My video of the poem "Tommy" by Rudyard Kipling, using original footage of Great War "Shell Shock" victims c.1917/18. My intention with this video is to show the way that heroes are sometimes treated and how a fickle society chooses when to "wheel them out" (sometimes literally) for praise when it suits as opposed to giving them the recognition and respect they deserve in everyday life.
Wow..gorgeous poem and shocking footage !!! ..so moving, reminds me of the movie " johnny got his gun"~
