A Life of Death
(7 minutes 54 seconds) USA
Director/Producer: Dawn Westlake
Description:
While the technology of war has “improved,” along with the technology
of how to cover it (stills/film/digital video), the emotional toll on society
is the same. The faces of the dead, dying and wounded are interchangeable
from WWI to Gulf War II. No matter the year, violence breeds revenge which
breeds more violence. World leaders say they want world peace, but at what
price? A LIfe of Death poetically documents the tragic irony of waging war
to establish peace.
